About me
View profile
Alexander Oliver is a Canadian actor based in Berlin, working across film, theatre, and comedy. Trained in acting and performance, he focuses on complex, character-driven screen work with a naturalistic approach and a strong interest in emotional realism and psychological nuance.

His work spans independent film, theatre, and comedic performance, often moving between grounded drama and darker, more stylised material. He is particularly drawn to contemporary European and international independent cinema, as well as science fiction, horror, and arthouse storytelling.

Alongside screen acting, Alex has experience in theatre and live performance, with a developing body of work in both dramatic and comedic roles. His performances often explore tension, vulnerability, humour, and emotional volatility, with an emphasis on truthful behaviour on camera.

He works bilingually in English and French as a second language and is currently based in Berlin, where he continues to collaborate on independent film and performance projects.
