Musser made his acting debut in 2005 on the soap opera All My Children after winning the reality TV contest I Wanna Be A Soap Star. He took on the role of Del Henry, who was previously played by Winsor Harmon, until 2007 when he exited the show.

Musser also had a brief but standout role in Adam Sandler‘s 2010 ensemble comedy, Grown Ups, in which he played a hunk who had attracted the attention of Salma Hayek, Maya Rudloph and more, only to be laughed at for his extremely high-pitched voice.
Adam Sandler – who wrote Grown Ups – took to social media to pay tribute to the late Alec Musser following his death. “I loved this guy. Cannot believe he is gone. Such a wonderful, funny good man. Thinking of Alec Musser and his family and sending all my love. A true great sweetheart of a person,” Sandler wrote.

Musser’s last role came in 2011, when he starred as Friedrich in the final season of Desperate Housewives. Outside of his career as an actor, Alec Musser was also a fitness model for various magazines and brands like Abercrombie & Fitch.

Alec Musser is survived by his finacée, Paige Press.
