Overview

Richard Alexander is a British actor. Early life Alexander was born in Wibsey, Bradford in the UK and went to both the first school and middle school (as Richard Milnes) in the area Buttershaw where the feature film directed by Alan Clarke, Rita, Sue and Bob Too was filmed (although he never attended the upper school). At age 13 he attended Hipperholme Grammar School, where he shared the same class, and subsequently became acquainted with, Danny McNamara of Embrace - even recently directing and producing the promo video for their last single "Wake Up Call". Later on he studied under the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Bradford in conjunction with the National Media Museum (formerly the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television) achieving a BSc (Hons) in 'Electronic Imaging & Media Communications'. Television Over the past few years, Alexander has appeared in various programmes on both terrestrial and satellite TV. At present, he is featured on a show called BRAZEN; an eclectic mix of professionally shot reality TV, and more amateur-style footage, along with animated satire and parody. The animations featured in the show are aimed at deriding reality TV, whilst the live-action footage purports to promote the concept. Another show, called Rubbernecker (broadcast on Nuts TV in the UK) features him as the narrator/host. Alexander is well known for his work with Men and Motors, a digital channel in the UK operated by ITV plc, having appeared in over 150 shows on their channel in the last 5 years. His first appearance was on his own creation, a reality clubbing show called UK Uncovered in which he and other presenters interviewed everyday people in the environment or nightclubs. This simple formula was relatively successful, which resulted in a further three more series of the same show, culminating recently with a version incorporating Nuts magazines' search for a new model, listed as "UK Uncovered vs The Nuts Babe Search". This latest incarnation mirrors a technique first used in BRAZEN, specifically where the show's voiceover is done by a computer-generated personality but according to feedback found in various sources, this unique approach is not always popular with viewers.
