Alexander Wraith got his first taste of acting by accident, when he joined a friend to an audition and ended up playing Joe Namath on the TNT show Monday Night Mayhem. Alexanders parents, moved around the United States as they founded restaurants from coast to coast. This constant relocation created a hectic and uncertain lifestyle for young Alexander, who had to continuously re-identify himself at each new town and school that he attended. After finally settling in Englewood New Jersey the same town where John Travolta and Stanley Kubrick grew up. His father, an ex-solider, taught Alexander the value of an honest day's work, but Alexander preferred to release his feelings of isolation through the arts; he was especially inspired by the lonely geniuses like Leonardo de Vinci, Beethoven and Shakespeare. Alexander began sculpting, painting and designing, receiving a scholarship to Parsons, New York City; but he only attended for a month before pursuing the science of the human body. He wanted not only mental but physical stimulation, as he made it to a division one basketball court at Manhattan College. Idolizing Bruce Lee, Alexander tried to learn and master as many martial arts as he could, leading him to the boxing ring as a Golden Gloves contender. In that arena he could taste the feeling of a crowd, and so he began performing on stage again while attending drama class at Fairleigh Dickinson University. In the theater, he finally felt that "this is what I was born to do". He sought out as many acting techniques as he could at different acting schools until he finally found the best mentor for him in Harold Guskin of New York. Alexander didn't have money to pay Guskin so he would paint and do odd-jobs around his apartment in exchange for training. Guskin pushed him to study in the classical theater with plays like King Lear, Macbeth, and Hamlet. Then Alexander's never-ending quest for improvement was finally honored when he was accepted to study with Robert Modica's Studio at Carnegie Hall. Alexander has also attended Columbia University, William Esper studios and The Lee Strasberg Theater; he has worked as a model for major brands and is a Junior Olympic Tae Kwon Do Champion.

Alex needed to catch a plane that morning from Las Vegas to Newark in order to make an audition that afternoon in New York City. The shot seen in the movie of an SUV speeding away from the zip line was Alex's real ride to the airport and when Alex reached Newark he needed to ride his motorcycle through rush-hour traffic to make it to his audition on time.Contrary to reviewers who have thought this was a green-screen jump, Alex twice jumped backwards out of a tunnel mouth stopped only by a safety line held by crew members. The distance to the ground was 75 feet. On his second jump Alex was stopped only three feet from the ground.During the first zip line stunt Alex got tangled up with stunt cameraman Joe Perez and the two of them spun around out of control. A year after this stunt someone else died on this same zip line when he crashed into the ladder truck intended to bring him down.Alex did all his own stunts during the filming of Lady Magdalene's, including riding one of the world's longest zip lines, a 75-foot jump out of a tunnel stopped only by a safety-line, and stunt driving.While filming Oliver Stone's "Savages", Alexander Wraith was involved in a freak accident, where one of the films transportation vans lost control on its way down a 40 degree rocky hillside slope in Mystery Mesa ranch, California.
