In 1989, Alexander wrote, co-directed and co-produced ‘Brothers In Arms’, an ambitious science-fiction short film which was praised by ‘Indiana Jones’ Producer, Robert Watts.  Thanks to Watts, Alexander landed a Production Assistant’s job at Steven Spielberg’s production company, Amblin Entertainment, Hollywood, summer 1991.  Alexander was assigned the role of being the Amblin ‘in-house’ Production Assistant on ‘Jurassic Park’.

This soon led to Alexander being represented by his first Hollywood literary agent, Phil Lawrence, followed by Erika Wain, the latter guiding him through the remainder of the 1990’s, writing new scripts and sharpening his skills pitching projects at the Hollywood studios.  During this time, Alexander also worked as a freelance photojournalist, selling several articles to ‘Elle’, ‘Marie Claire’ and Emirates' magazines. 2001, to learn the ‘Hollywood game’ from the inside, Alexander began working as a Manager’s Assistant at one of Hollywood’s top companies, Talent Entertainment Group (now Entertainment 360) in Beverly Hills.  Following that, summer of 2004, Alexander joined SAG Hollywood (Screen Actors Guild), spending six seasons as a SAG Stand-In on the TV Show ‘House’ at FOX Studios, L.A.
