Alex Russell

Actor Alex Russell was born in Brisbane, Australia. The child of a surgeon and a nurse, Russell was shy during his early years, interested mainly in video games until the day he discovered youth theater. By the time he graduated from high school, Russell was passionate about his craft, opting to study at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney. During his final year at the school, Russell attended his first audition, trying out for a TV role with a performance he would later describe as disastrous. He was positive that his career was doomed-until his first feature film audition came along later that week. The film in question was "Wasted on the Young" (2010), and Russell won the part. He would appear in the American sci-fi thriller "Chronicle" (2012) two years later, acting with a well-practiced American accent he had been honing for years. He would next appear in the popular action-adventure film "The Host" (2013), before starring in the brutally intense thriller "Cut Snake" (2014). After landing the role of the older version of Pete in the acclaimed historical drama "Unbroken" (2014), he would go on to co-star in films like "Blood in the Water" (2016) and "Rabbit" (2017).
