Alex Gravenstein

Alex Gravenstein (Film/TV) has been acting professionally since 2015, but has been on stage and quite smaller screens well before that. Originally from Virginia, he moved to Montreal to study mechanical engineering and psychology at McGill. It was during these years that he fell even more in love with theater and film. He wanted to learn everything he could about the industry, and while he was already an editor, he learned camera work, vfx, coloring, sound, mixing, (basic) lighting, and even on and off in casting offices since 2016.

At the start of the pandemic in 2020, he merged his two acting workshops (cold reading and in-person/self-taping workshops) into one, online format with his business partner, Maxine Denis. The workshop, called isolACTION, was intended initially as an escape from the pressure of the lockdowns as well as an audition gym and social space. After half a year, it officially became a comprehensive, adaptable, yet affordable professional service and still is today.

As an actor, he has been in an assortment of features, tv shows, video games, and more: most recently appearing in Roland Emmerich’s Moonfall(Lionsgate) and starring as Eric King in the video game House Of Ashes. Outside of the industry, you may catch him rock climbing or playing in the water. He hopes to use everything he has learned and continues to learn to give back to the acting community to make this enchanting world more accessible to others.
