Alexander is well known for his numerous roles on the Babylon 5 television series. His first appearance on the show was in the season 2 episode Comes the Inquisitor as Mr. Sebastian - the only time he played a human. Alexander is perhaps best remembered in the series for his portrayal of Lorien. Other appearances were in season 3 as a Narn named G'Dan in the episode And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place, as a Drazi in the season 4 episode Intersections in Real Time, and as a Drakh in the season 5 episodes Movements of Fire and Shadow and The Fall of Centauri Prime. In the television movies, he played a Drakh in Babylon 5: A Call to Arms, and in Babylon 5: River of Souls, he appeared as a soul.
In the 1990 film Spaced Invaders, Alexander portrayed Vern Pillsbury, the geekish gas station attendant who becomes the powerful "Verndroid" after coming into contact with the commander of the invading Martians.
