In 2004, Alexander received another 'NAACP Image Award' nomination as Michael Jackson in the VH1 television biopic titled Man In The Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story. He returned to One on One for two more seasons, but when the show's premise was reinvented during the last season, his character was written out and demoted to a recurring part.
