Born and raised in New Jersey, Alexander began his acting career at age 17, performing in the children's specials "The Pushcart Players: Feelings and Friends." He then received a drama scholarship to Boston University, where he won the prestigious Harold C. Case Award for scholarship and service. During college he also became a working actor, appearing in national commercials. A Tony Award winner for his 1989 performance in "Jerome Robbins' Broadway" (Best Actor in a Musical), Alexander has extensive stage experience, having starred in the Broadway productions "Broadway Bound," "The Rink" and "Merrily We Roll Along" and in the Off-Broadway shows "Personals," "Forbidden Broadway" and "Stop the World, I Want to Get Off." Later, he portrayed Harry Truman in the one-man play "Give 'Em Hell Harry" in Los Angeles. One of Alexander's most memorable movie roles was in "Pretty Woman," in which he played the sleazy lawyer friend of Richard Gere's character.

He recently made his feature film directing debut with the Castle Rock production of "Stranger Things," in which he also stars. His TV credits include NBC's mini-series "Favorite Son," the movies "Rockabye" and "Senior Trip" and the series "Everything's Relative" and "E.R."

He also provided the voice of the lead character for the animated TV series "Duckman" and the voice of a gargoyle in the Disney animated film "Hunchback of Notre Dame."
