Biography
Mr. Alexander has been an actor for many years
and has played many roles, some of them
intentionally. Wayne gave up a promising career
in neurosurgery to follow his muse, saying,
"Knowing what literally makes people tick
isn't nearly as fulfilling as knowing what really
makes them tick." Some of his favorite
portrayals (or betrayals, it's all subjective)
include the title role in "Pinocchio",
Edmund from the play based on the Narnia stories,
"The Lion,The Witch and the Wardrobe",
the 'other' horse in "Equus" and the
sixth Troll from stage right in "Peer
Gynt." He is most proud of his one-man show,
"Dr. Suess, the Man Beneath the Hat."
Mr. Alexander's mother cautioned him early on,
saying, "Don't become a stud."--advice
he has tried always to follow. Wayne is married
to a woman, and has five separate children. None
of them real.
But Seriously...
I grew up in a very small town in the middle of
the San Joaquin Valley in California. I had a
very theatrical mother growing up, she can still
be counted on to go into 'theatrics' when life's
little dramas arise. She was very nurturing of my
interest in theater and being a thespian, as was
my father. I got my schooling in Los Angeles City
College Theater Academy. I went on to the
American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco to
get my baptism by fire into what it meant to have
a life in the theater.The training I got there
doing plays in repertory has held me in good
stead ever since. At ACT I also learned stage
fencing, which lead to work as a fight
choreographer. I have made a living since then
doing mostly classical theater in Los Angeles, I
am on a first name basis with Shakespeare's
Hamlet, Romeo, Benedick, Iago, Proteus, Berowne
and Edmund the Bastard, to name a few. I did a
few years in New York, beginning on Broadway with
a production of Simon Gray's "The Common
Pursuit", and lingering to do whatever else
the city had to offer. I've been doing television
and film work for about 15 years now.
I began my work in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre in
1985 when I appeared as a regular cast member on
the short-lived CBS primetime series "Other
World", appearing as Lieutenant Zero, aide
to the villianous Commander Kroll
I was the meek, put upon gas attendant, Vern,
who, upon encountering Martian invasion leader,
Captain Bipto, was transformed into the
Zorro-like, welding-goggle wearing, robot-slave
Verndroid, in my next genre experience,
Touchstone Picture's "Spaced Invaders",
which has since attained cult status on college
campuses around the country, and especially in
France, where Jerry Lewis (not in the film, but
by way of explanation) is a god.
Next up was the episode of the new "Twilight
Zone", titled "The Devil's
Alphabet", and then my guest-star apearances
on "Babylon 5", including the very
popular Sebastian the Inquisitor in "Comes
the Inquisitor", and my recurring role as
Lorien, the First One. I have played a total of
five different guest-star toles on Babylon 5,
setting their guest performer record. In between
these appearances true genre afficionados may
have seen my work on ABC's all-too-brief teen
science fiction series, "Hypernauts".
I also have a recurring role on the hit genre
"The X-Files", where I play Assistant
Director Arnold of the FBI. Recently I have also
lent my voice to two Babylon 5 spoofs,
"Frightspace" (by the people who
brought you Babylon Park) and "Crusade
Wars". I also appear in the new Babylon 5
CD-ROM ineractive game by Sierra titled
"Into the Fire", where I get to show my
own human face again...at last! Pretty scary!
Outside of my television and film work, I have
appeared extensively on the professional stage,
both in Los Angeles and New York.
