Alex Weiner is a BAFTA-nominated actor best known for his portrayal of Rocket Raccoon in the AAA video game Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix). Alex provided full performance capture and voiceover for the role and his performance was met with critical acclaim, garnering him BAFTA, CGN, and DICE nominations as well as ACTRA and GANG Awards wins.
Alex's career started at 17 when he was cast as Tom Goldberg in Olivier Abbou's Territories alongside Michael Mando and Cristina Rosato. Shortly after, he was cast as Ricky the Pizza Boy in Blue Mountain State's "Drunk Tank", a role famous for its hilarious vodka-snorting scene with the show's co-creator, Chris Romano.
At 23, Alex starred in Ramiro Belanger's ClydeCynic, a dark character piece about a prodigal hypnotist who inflicts trauma on his patients as a way to cope with his own troubled past. Alex's performance was praised by the Hollywood Reporter as "[...] perfect. Weiner's big doe eyes and baby face make his descent into violence all the more disturbing". The film was lauded at its premiere at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, and went on to secure distribution and win multiple awards worldwide.
Alex went on to star as Jimmy Basso in the TV pilot Fugazi, which he co-created with his long-time collaborator Jesse Camacho. His performance earned him a 2019 ACTRA award nomination for Best Actor. Jesse and Alex would go on to form Camacho Weiner Inc, a film company focused on storytelling and IP development.
In addition to his on-screen performances, Alex is a distinguished voice-over artist with a sizable number of credits, including notably being the voice of the Tangerine/Toronto Raptors campaign during the playoffs and finals of the 2019 season. Also a prolific video game performer, Alex has lent his talents to the Assassin's Creed series, Outlast 2, Far Cry 5, Deux Ex- with more to come.
