Alex is a half Korean, half Italian actor born in New York City. At a very young age, he was focused on sports with a career goal as a professional tennis player. His parents took him to his first Broadway show, The Lion King, when he was seven and he was mesmerized by the performance sparking his interest in acting. After high school, Alex decided to forgo tennis to pursue his passion for acting. He trained at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute along with many other NYC studios, and later traveled to Asia to train with one of the world's most renowned martial arts teams. His extensive fight and weapons experience has broadened his skills as an actor with a goal of redefining how the film industry views Asian actors as leading men.
