ALEX ROSE
Alex grew up in a musical family and trained as a classical violinist until the age of 18. He then studied theatre at Studio 58 in Vancouver, BC. Since graduating, some of his favourite productions include Itamar Moses’ “The Four of Us,” and Joshua Harmon’s “Bad Jews.”
Alex’s current focus is on acting in film and television. He has appeared in varying lengths of brevity on “Supernatural,” “Star Trek: Beyond,” and as the Marquis de Sade in the vampire drama “Van Helsing.” As a podcast addict, Alex is pleased as pumpkin pie (and other desserts that are easily pleased) to have lent his voice to the Big Loop.
