In a funny little revelation, it turns out that Alain was not one to rest on his laurels despite getting through to the third stage of the audition for Incubus. He made sure he was covering himself with a back-up to still get some paid work even if it didn't work out:

"After my chemistry meeting with Cara I had to wait because I had another audition for the same film but with the stunt department. David Ayer was meeting all the stunt guys one by one but he had no idea I was going to be there. So 45 minutes after the meeting with Cara I walk in the room as a stunt performer.
David was like: "What are you doing here?"
And was I was like: "Trying to make a buck."
So I ended up getting both jobs and playing an EA character (the Enchantress soldiers) AND Incubus in the movie, which was pretty cool."

He's actually more known for his stunt-work to date - though that may change now. Previously he's worked on X-Men: Apocalypse doing "non-descriptive stunts. Example: One day I spent the whole day in a helicopter doing crazy moves. Sat there all day and enjoyed the view."

And he says Killer Croc actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is "his boy" after the pair met on the set of Pompeii, where he doubled for him.
