She also relates to the way Sutton handles things and deals with the problems emotionally. In ‘The Lying Game’ Alexandra Chando has worked with other popular actors such as, Blair Redford, Kirsten Prout, Helen Slater, Allie Gonino, and Alice Greczyn.

Although, The Lying Game was visualized as the same plot as the thriller ‘Ringer’, The Lying Game found its place soon in the hearts of the audience.

I was a good student: Truth. “I was really heavy into the theater program. I loved that,” Alexandra spills. “We had a great program at our school, and our theater director—his name is Mr. Smith—he was pretty awesome. My English teacher my senior year was incredibly inspiring. I liked him as well.”

I never cheated on a test: Truth. But the PA native fesses she was “terrible at math.”

I never cheated on a boyfriend: Truth. Alexandra adds that she’s currently single!

I had my first kiss in high school: Lie.”I think it was summer going into high school.” Was it any good? “Awful. So not memorable,” Alexandra dishes. “Make sure it’s the right scenario. I think mine was during spin the bottle, which is so not the right scenario. Don’t do it in front of a group of people. Make it special.”

I passed my driver’s test on the very first try: Truth.

I was popular in school: Truth. “There wasn’t that typical hierarchy. There were popular kids from all different groups of people. It wasn’t very clique-y. At least I didn’t think so.”

I never forget a friend’s birthday. Truth. “I got my best girlfriend cooking classes because she loves to cook.”

My bedroom is usually a mess. Lie. “I try to keep it as neat as I can, but it’s hard. Here’s the thing, I don’t really have a room right now. I have an apartment in Austin [and] I just moved into a new apartment in L.A., so I’m kind of in limbo right now.”

I’m an awesome cook. Lie. “I cook, but I wouldn’t say I’m awesome. I kind of cook simple stuff, like chicken and vegetables. I can make really good salmon.”

I have a crush on someone right now. Truth. “I always have crushes! C’mon, I wouldn’t be human.”

The last little white lie I told was: what I did for a living. It was a random stranger that I had run into. I was standing in line for something and we got to talking. They had asked what I did for a living, and you know, in L.A. it’s just so cliché to say I’m an actor, so I was always kind of evade the question. I’ve told people that I was a kindergarten teacher before. I tried to say that I was in banking and then they started asking me questions–like I said, I’m terrible at math, so I failed instantly.

It’s totally acceptable to lie when: I don’t know if it’s really ever acceptable, but I guess to save someone’s feelings–if it’s a white lie, like someone has a bad haircut. I am a brutally honest person and my friends, I think, appreciate that. You know, you don’t want your friends going out in public looking bad!
