Reese Alexander
Reese Alexander, Toronto born and raised, is one of those actors who just pops up everywhere—like, you’re binging something random on Netflix and suddenly there he is. He’s nailed roles in a bunch of big stuff, but you probably clocked him in The Interview back in 2014, that wild Seth Rogen and James Franco flick. Yeah, the one that had North Korea all riled up. Reese played it cool, bringing a solid energy to the chaos, even though the headlines were all about Kim Jong-un and missiles.
Flip to TV and you’ve got him in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, playing in that dark, witchy Riverdale-adjacent universe. Sabrina’s world is all moody lighting and creepy rituals, but Reese fits right in, totally believable as part of that spellbound chaos. He doesn’t chew the scenery—no, he just sort of slides into his roles and makes them feel real. Not easy, with all those demons running around.
And then there’s Riverdale, which is like Archie Comics on a wild sugar high. Reese pops up, does his thing, and you find yourself thinking, “Hey, I know that guy.” He has this knack for playing authority figures or just the everyman with a twist, never over-the-top but always memorable. Toronto’s got a lot of talent, but Reese Alexander’s one of those low-key gems who makes you appreciate the supporting cast even more. Seriously, keep an eye out for him—he’s everywhere, just under the radar.
