When trying out for the parts of Bill and Ted, each actor was paired up with another. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter were paired up, Reeves trying out for the part of Bill while Winter trying out for the part of Ted. They were cast opposite what they tried out for.

His favorite character, that he played, was "Granny S. Preston" in Bill & Teds verrückte Reise in die Zukunft (1991).

Made his musical stage debut at age 10 in the St. Louis Opera production of "Oliver!" starring Vincent Price as Fagin. Alex played one of the urchins.

Along with Keanu Reeves, Hal Landon Jr. and Amy Stoch, he is one of only four actors to appear in all three "Bill & Ted" films: Bill & Teds verrückte Reise durch die Zeit (1989), Bill & Teds verrückte Reise in die Zukunft (1991) and Bill & Ted retten das Universum (2020).

Graduated from Montclair High school in 1983. There he attended the school of performing arts.

Hitchcock had to fight to the death to make his movies.

I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that's different than you imagine it.

I get very driven by certain themes and ideas.

Certain remakes are great. [John] Carpenter's Das Ding aus einer anderen Welt (1982) is better than the original.

My favorite favorites are people like Bunuel, Fellini and Charlie Chaplin.
