PREVIOUS EXCLUSIVE, August 3: Five days after the former Law & Order director was arrested on child pornography charges, he no longer is Second Vice-President of the Directors Guild of America. Where Jace Alexander’s name and face were just earlier today on the DGA website, there’s now a blank space and the word “Open.” Alexander resigned Monday, sources say. “The DGA will elect a new Second Vice President at its October National Board meeting,” said a Guild spokesperson today.
