Alex Ellis

Kim

Alex Ellis  Originally hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, Alex has carved a dazzling path through NYC and Los Angeles. From Broadway stages to TV screens, to animated worlds, Alex has done everything except, apparently sleep. Alex recently finished a sold-out preview run of, "Earth to Squiggy", a Lenny & The Squigtones musical at the acclaimed Garry Marshall Theater in LA that's headed to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August. Broadway credits include Catch Me If You Can, Legally Blonde, One a Clear Day You Can See Forever, They're Playing Our Song & Thoroughly Modern Millie. She created and starred in the role of Rose Dewitt Bukater in the hit musical, Titanique, which recently won the Olivier award in the Westend, as well as the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical. She's graced the TV screen on hits like The Goldbergs, The Unicorn, Man with A Plan, Hollywood Darlings, and Hot in Cleveland and voiced the iconic role of Cosmina on Disney's Vampirina as well as Jenna on Nickelodeon's The Loud House. And if you've ever heard a snarky NPC in World of Warcraft, Red Dead Redemption or Grand Theft Auto, it might've been her. She was also selected for the 2019 CBS Diversity Showcase, which featured up and coming comedic actors in Los Angeles. In her downtime (ha!), she fronts LA's premiere Yacht Rock tribute band called Harbor Party (featured on Bravo & NPR). Alex also writes, shoots, and produces her own films, including a poignant short about mental health featuring none other than Grammy-nominated rapper Petey Pablo called "Who Am I?". Eleven film festivals later (premiering at the esteemed Hip Hop Film Festival in Harlem). Catch her on Instagram at @aellis3 or deep in the world of her magical, multimedia empire at www.thealexellis.com.
