Alex H. Roth

American actor Alex Heinz Roth was born on July 16, 1995 in Merrill, Wisconsin. His mother, Mary Roth, is a nurse and is of Scottish, Irish, and German decent. His father, Heinz Roth, is a farmer, and is a first generation American moving from Switzerland when he was 8 years old. The two are divorced. As his father is native to Switzerland, Alex has dual citizenship with the United States, and Switzerland. Alex grew up working on his family farm which, although difficult and stressful at times, he credits for many of his best qualities such as work ethic. Through his youth, he has worked several jobs including: farm hand, machinery operator, grocery store employee, heavy equipment operator, and handyman. Alex wanted to be an actor ever since he could remember and competed in a talent scouting competition when he was 10 years old. At the time, his family was unable to relocate, so Alex decided to continue his passion the best he could from his hometown. That year, he took on the lead role of Aladdin in The Central Wisconsin Children's Theater production of Aladdin. Following this, it was ultimately decided by his peers that a more 'realistic' career should be chosen. Alex pushed his passion for acting aside and continued his schooling. Alex graduated Merrill High School in 2013 near the top of his class. Throughout his time there, he took every advanced or higher placement class the school offered. This effort did not go unrecognized as upon graduation, he was accepted into The University of Wisconsin- Madison. After one semester, Alex could no longer bury his passion for creativity, and left school to peruse a career as an actor. He moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and immediately felt more at home. After arriving in Los Angeles, it didn't take Alex long to start booking work. From his arrival in 2014 through 2016, he worked numerous Television, Film, and Commercial projects. Some of his projects include Guest and Co-Starring roles on Television shows such as Discovery's "How We Got Here", Investigation Discovery's "Blood Relatives" and "Tabloid", and BBC's "Alice and the Most Dangerous Band in the World." These projects brought Alex the opportunity to work with many Emmy, Telly, and Leo award winning creators. His film credits for this period include critically acclaimed "The Outer Rim," dark thriller "The Breakup" and romantic drama "Romance." Of these performances, his leading role in "Romance" earned him a Best Actor award from the USC graduate degree film program. Most recently, Alex can be seen in his series regular role portraying "Elijah" an immensely complicated and emotionally confused high school student in the critically acclaimed Amazon TV dramatic series "Back Stabber." Alex maintains a sense of humility and gratitude, and remains grounded through his extensive involvement with the non-profit Team Rubicon. Team Rubicon is an organization of first responders for disaster relief, comprised primarily of military veterans. From Search and Rescue, to debris clean up, Team Rubicon aids in every area possible after natural disasters occur. Alex has deployed numerous times across the country offering his helping hand whenever and wherever possible.
