Alexander Julian Rhodes was born and raised in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, to parents Althea Azeff and Phillip Rhodes. He has two
siblings, Axel and Claire, along with a cat named Huckle. He recently
graduated with a B.S. in biology from the University of Pittsburgh.
Due to his interest in the film industry and a need for money,
Alexander took on several production jobs throughout college, including
being an additional production assistant on The Dark Knight Rises and a
casting intern at Mosser Casting. He also did background work in
several films. In September 2012 Alexander was discovered by the people
of reddit.com, a popular social internet community, after posting a
thread that reached #1 on the front page of the website regarding his
background role of "Suspicious Onlooker" in
Jack Reacher (2012).
Since then Alexander has been training while simultaneously taking on
acting roles in non-union productions.
