Ian Alexander Career

Career

Alexander's debut acting role was on Netflix's The OA, where they played Buck Vu. Buck, like Alexander, is also a Vietnamese-American transgender youth, and he was partially based on Alexander's real experiences. They were chosen from an open casting call that soared across Tumblr. They were later cast in Every Day, a David Levithan book based on the story of Vic, a trans teen for whom the spirit "A" inhabits for a day. Alexander was cast for The Last of Us Part II, the sequel to their famous video game, in October 2017. In the game, they played Lev, a transgender character.

Queerty named them one of their Pride50 in June 2019, marking the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, sparking the modern LGBTQ rights movement, "trailblazing individuals who actively ensure that society continues to progress toward equality, recognition, and respect for all queer people." Alexander was one of the front pages of the 2019 Pride magazine, "spotlighting three rising queer artists whose careers and lives are breaking new ground for LGBTQ+ visibility." Alexander will appear in the independent film Daughter in March 2020.

Alexander had joined the cast of Star Trek: Discovery in September 2020; they played the first transgender character portrayed by a transgender actor in the Star Trek canon.

On Thursday, Regina King made her first appearance on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live in over two years, which culminated in a very personal moment for her and the host. In theaters March 22, King, 53, was promoting her latest film Shirley, based on the true life of Shirley Chisolm, the first Black woman to run for president. The Oscar winner hasn't appeared on the program since December 2021 — just a month before her 26-year-old son Ian Alexander Jr. died of suicide in January 2022.

Following her son Ian Alexander Jr.'s death by suicide at the age of 26, Regina King says her 'faith has been questioned.'

Regina King expressed her sorrow after her son Ian Alexander Jr.'s suicide by suicide at the age of 26 in January 2022. The Oscar winner, 53, reflected on the death of her only child and how she continues to influence her personal and professional choices while gracing the front page of Harper's Bazaar's April 2024 issue. I feel like I am in a situation now where my faith has really been tested,' the If Beale Street Could Talk star said. I don't know that I should say this because I feel like it's where I should be, but the suggestion that what you put into it is what makes you get back--it's not always true.' Despite her bout with depression, the actress went on to say that her late son was 'pure joy and pure light.'
