Alex Collins is a 21+ year member of SAG-AFTRA, with experience in both the LA and Atlanta markets as an actor, content creator, producer of both union flms and live theatre, acting teacher, audition coach, and industry consultant.
Collins has shared the screen with some of the industry's biggest heavyweights, including: Tom Cruise, Woody Harrelson, Mahershala Ali, Cynthia Erivo, Jon Bernthal, Michelle Monaghan, David Harbour, Sam Worthington, Garret Dillahunt, and Jimmy Smits; Directors include: Clint Eastwood, Rob Reiner, and Doug Liman, to name a few. Most recently, Collins starred on a two season arc of the CW's Stargirl as superhero Dr. MidNite, a character originated in the comics in 1941.
Clients range from brand new actors to series regulars, from 16-80+. While motivating and positive, Collins also brings a no-nonsense sense of honesty to his teaching style, focusing more on the practical realities of working in today's industry and leaning more on current industry trends and practices versus one single acting method.
As a teacher, Collins has over a decade of classroom instruction, combined with individual, one-on-one coaching, both in person in the Atlanta area, & via Zoom. He has been teaching at Drama Inc. in Atlanta for the last ten years. Email [email protected] or check out the website for details.
