Early life

Alexander grew up in Ottawa, Ontario. As a child, they were very shy and found that a mandatory acting class led to improved self-confidence.[5]

Alexander attended the University of Toronto Mississauga in conjunction with Sheridan College for Theatre and Drama Studies.[6]

Career

In addition to working as an actor, Alexander is also a musician and a writer[11] and is also the creator of the web series Couple-ish, in which Alexander acts as a main character, writer, producer and theme song singer.[12] Alexander plays the lead role, Dee Warson, who is a non-binary and pansexual artist.[13] The series was funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, which raised over $29,000 CAD.[14] In 2016, the series was nominated for a Streamy Award in the Best Indie category, but ultimately lost to Brooklyn Sound.[4]

Another successful Indiegogo campaign was launched in November 2016 to fund a second season, with a fixed goal of $45,000 USD.[15] The second season premiered on April 29, 2017.[16]
