Born as Alexander Lukasz Jogalla on the 3rd of June 1991 in New York City, United States, Pico was raised in Park Slope, Brooklyn. He was given the nickname Pico before his birth and when he was born, the name surprisingly took over his birth name. He once said in an interview that no one called him his birth name except his 6th-grade teacher. It was also gathered that his parents, Magdalena Deskur and Lukasz Jogalla, are Polish immigrants to the United States of America.
During his formative years, Pico was very close to his grandfather Jerzy Jogałła who was an actor in Poland and eventually decided to follow in his stead. It is also known that his dad was a cinematographer while His mom was a singer who attended a music school in Poland. So from a young age, Alexander started taking classes to learn how to play classical piano and trumpet.
He also accompanied his father to various movie sets and met Hollywood big shot, Hugh Jackman, on the set of Kate & Leopold. The two took pictures that the actor later mailed to young Pico, this meant a lot to the aspiring actor back then. Before meeting Hugh Jackman, the actor met Slyvester Stallone back in 1997 during the making of Cop Land.
