Biography

Alexandra Fatovich is a Los Angeles-based actor with Croatian roots, born and raised in Fort Lee, New Jersey, a town historically regarded as the first Hollywood. Alexandra graduated summa cum laude from Syracuse University’s prestigious S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications with a degree in Television, Radio and Film and a double major in Psychology - two majors she chose independently of her acting ambitions, that turned out to be the perfect combination for exactly that. Before transitioning to on-screen work, Alexandra got her start in entertainment through several internships in production, most notably at the iconic Late Show with David Letterman - an institution where she was surrounded by some of the sharpest minds in the business at a formative time in her career. Alexandra made her big-screen debut in Martin Brest’s Gigli (yes, that one), stealing the scene she shared with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Her resume further boasts collaborations with screen legends Anthony Hopkins and Paul Giamatti, demonstrating a consistent ability to hold her own opposite industry heavyweights. On the television side, Alexandra has built an impressive body of work. She held a recurring role on the acclaimed Bosch: Legacy, as well as on the star-studded Apple TV+ series The Morning Show, and in Cooper Raiff’s Hal & Harper, a series that made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival. Alexandra delivered a standout performance in the hit Hulu series Paradise, with her scene generating significant buzz among viewers. Her visibility extends beyond scripted television - she was prominently featured in a widely seen national commercial for the pharmaceutical brand Rinvoq, introducing her face to audiences across the country. What most people don’t expect when they meet Alexandra is that she was an All-American cheerleader in high school who even went on to cheer at Syracuse University - a fact that tends to catch people off guard given her famously tough and no-nonsense presence. Off camera, Alexandra is navigating life with a sarcastic sense of humor and the determination of a true Capricorn - including learning to reimagine her identity as a self-described foodie following a celiac diagnosis. She brings the same standard of care to everything she does, whether it’s on set, on the yoga mat, hiking on trails, or poolside with a perfectly made spicy margarita. She is often accompanied by her beloved dog Penelope Pickles, her most loyal co-star.
