The actress is daughter of Laverne “Chip” Fields, a multidisciplined singer, actress, director and producer, who has been in the industry since 1974. Some of Laverne’s notable roles include her depiction of Lynetta Gordon in the sitcom “Good Times”, and she has also lent her talents to productions such as “Menace II Society”, a classic hood thriller.

Alexis’s First Roles
Alexis first graced our screens in early 1992 as Kim in “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper”, a family sitcom starring Mark Curry and Holly Robinson Peete amongst others. Alexis appeared in two episodes, and then joined the cast of “Roc” in the same year, interpreting Sheila Hendricks in the series centered around the trials and tribulations of a garbage man.
1994 was also a good year for Alexis, as she scored a part in her first TV movie “Last Days of Russell”, written and directed by Reginald Hudlin. She also worked alongside Steve Harvey in an episode of “Me and the Boys”, and joined the cast of “The Secret World of Alex Mack” until 1998. The latter series was nominated for several awards, and eventually won a 1996 Young Artists Award in the Best Performance by a Young Ensemble – Television category. One of Nickelodeon’s longest-running series, it was eventually pulled because child star and main character Larisa Oleynik was “burnt out” and wished to focus on high school.
