Today on Too Opinionated, we talk with actor/stuntman Alex Grech!

After high school, Alex took a brief hiatus from acting and spent several months working as a paralegal, laborer, and bartender in Australia, raising money to fulfill his dream of embarking on a global trip. His dream came true, and, in 2019, he set out backpacking around the globe for eleven months, visiting places such as India, Switzerland, Prague, and Budapest.

In 2020, he officially made the move to New York City to study at NYU's TISCH School of Arts, learning at the school's prestigious Experimental Theatre Wing. It wasn't until 2024, however, that Alex landed his breakout role as Tommaso in Juliet & Romeo, relocating to Verona, Italy for six months, where he trained with the stunt team and the horse stunt teams to become proficient in performing his own stunts in the film. After several months of training in stunt work, Alex was offered the opportunity to become the stunt double for Romeo as well.

Alex is also passionate about campaigning for more research in the medical field, to help discover preventative measures that treat cancers and neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's – diseases that have directly impacted his life and the life of his loved ones. He also devotes his time to raising awareness for mental health initiatives.
