I think there are some interviews here and there if you google him talking about his alopecia.

A quick Google search turned up this interview:

Here's the part where he mentions his alopecia:

You've obviously come to the point with the character where you have sympathy for him. How much sympathy should we have for him?

That's a hard question. I can really only speak for myself, from what I'm thinking and where I'm coming from. It's tough, because for me he represents the victim. Anyone who has grown up being teased, whether it be for being tall, short, talking with a lisp - anything you've been teased about, that's what he represents. So when he retaliates, you understand where he comes from, so you understand him. That's my opinion, but I don't know what other people's feelings are when they watch the character.

You're a legitimate fan of Friday the 13th. What's your favorite in the series?

Definitely Part IV. I really like the part with Corey Feldman - to get really personal, growing up I had [alopecia], so the scene where Corey Feldman has shaved his head and he's trying to be Jason, or a younger version of what Jason looked like, and at the time I actually looked very similar to that. I really related to the Jason character. Now he's grown up and become bigger and stronger, and I can relate to that. It's very personal, but that's what it was.
