Info:
Many people think Alex's career is somewhat of a failure because he hasn't come
close to the star power of his 'Bill & Ted' co-star Keanu Reeves. But it
appears that Alex is starting to get some attention as a director.
He was born in London. Since his parents were both renowned dancers, a life on
the stage was pretty much a given for the young man. Moving to New York after
his parents' divorce, he was only 11 when he appeared on stage alongside
business legends such as Yul Brenner in 'The King and I', Sandy Duncan in 'Peter
Pan' and Vincent Price in 'Oliver'
