Keith Alexander (born Keith Buckley; sometimes credited as Keith Alexander Buckley)[2] is an Australian actor and voiceover artist.[3]

Early life

Originally from Sydney,[4] Alexander studied engineering and law at the University of Adelaide before deciding to pursue acting as a career.[5] He worked extensively in theatre,[6] but moved to London in 1965, disillusioned with the state of Australian politics. He took on the professional stage name 'Keith Alexander' as there was already an actor known as 'Keith Buckley' in the UK.[7]

Career

Film and television

Alexander is best known for his work in the United Kingdom, in particular his voice work, due to his specialty in reproducing accents.[8]

Alexander's UK television credits include Softly, Softly (1966), The New Avengers (1976), Minder (1979) and The Day of the Triffids (1981). On the big screen, he had roles in Submarine X-1 (1968), Superman (1978), Hanover Street (1979) and All About a Prima Ballerina (1980).

He featured in productions by Gerry Anderson, voicing John Tracy in the 1968 puppet film Thunderbird 6 (in addition to serving as the film's narrator).[9] He voiced regular character Sam Loover and numerous guest characters in the TV series Joe 90 (1968–69). His other Anderson appearances were in the film Doppelgänger (1969) and the TV series The Secret Service and UFO – the latter, as recurring character Lieutenant Keith Ford.

Alexander also spent time the United States, where he worked on The Ed Sullivan Show providing the English-language voice of the Italian puppet mouse Topo Gigio.[10]

Alexander moved back to Australia in the early 1990s, where he continues to act in Australian productions.[11]

Book

Alexander wrote and self-published the "love crime war drama" novel "Not Just Another Love Story" in 2023.[12]
