Alexx O’Nell

Alexx O'Nell, originally Alexander Leonard O'Neill, is this American dude who somehow managed to plant himself smack in the middle of India’s entertainment scene. Seriously, he’s all over the place – you’ll catch him in Hindi, Tamil, Bengali flicks, you name it. The guy’s best known for roles in “Ae Watan Mere Watan” (2024) and “Khufiya” (2023), and honestly, if you missed him in “Golondaaj,” you missed his Best Actor-nominated performance (West Bengal Film Journalists Association, 2022). He’s popped up in Amazon’s first Tamil original “Sweet Kaaram Coffee,” plus cult stuff like “Aarya” and “Cheeni Kum.” He’s got upcoming projects dropping left and right—“Phule,” “The Untold Story of C Sankaran Nair,” a new Amazon series called “Bak Bak,” plus a Bengali film, “Pokkhirajer Dim.” The man does not stop. Besides acting, he’s the face of a handful of brands—Captain Morgan in Asia, Mouin Glaciere in MENA, Panasonic and Finolex in India, and even 7Up in Bangladesh. Multi-market hustle, for real. And get this, he also sings and writes his own music—tracks like “Still On My Mind” and a Sanskrit jam called “A Bhagavad Gita Song.” Wild. He grew up in Connecticut to an American dad and Dutch mom, kicked off his acting with community theater, then TV ads, and finally snagged a spot in “Cheeni Kum” and “Loins of Punjab Presents.” He even did a stint on “Nach Baliye” (Season 3) because, why not? The guy’s personal life’s been tabloid fodder too—married Sweta Keswani, later dated Shama Sikander. Oh, and he’s got two B.A.s from Boston University—philosophy and psych. Overachiever much?
