Alexander Frederic Kip is an American actor, producer, writer, and influential motivational speaker. Alex was born in White Plains, New York, to Lucinda Marie (Bristol) and Nicholas Huntington Kip, with one younger sister, Elizabeth Kip. He has Dutch, English, and Norwegian ancestry.
His passion for acting and singing was nurtured during his formative years in the warmhearted Midwest town of Gahanna, Ohio. After graduating high school, Alex honed his skills at the famed Musical Theatre program at The University of Michigan (B.F.A.) and the London Dramatic Academy, where he graduated with the highest honors.
During his senior year of college, his life took a dramatic turn when he received a cancer diagnosis, with only a 15-30% chance of survival. Alex defied the odds with resilience and miraculously overcame the disease. He has now been in complete remission for over a decade. From there, he made a triumphant comeback to the acting world.
He started by writing, starring, and producing an original play, "My Other Voice," which captivated audiences with premieres at the Arthur Miller Theater and West End Theatre in New York City. His play was featured on PBS, NPR, and NBC, named "Best of the Best," garnering critical acclaim and touching countless hearts. While in New York City, he originated roles like the obnoxious frat boy Ford in "The Worlds Fair Play," an NYT Critic's Pick with a world premiere at the Queen's Theatre. He has also left an indelible mark on regional theatrical productions across the United States, with roles like Gaston and Lieutenant Joe Cable.
He transitioned into on-camera acting, first in feature films, as a heroic demon-slaying Priest in "Dark Haul" on Syfy. He was then quickly cast as the overly confident boyfriend in "Can You Survive A Horror Movie?" on ChillerTV. From there, he starred in multiple independent films with actors such as John Rhys-Davies. He then appeared on many networks, including NBC, Comedy Central, Spike TV, Bio Channel, and more.
Beyond acting, Alex inspires and empowers audiences as a sought-after motivational speaker. His impactful talks have resonated with major clients like UnitedHealthcare, Abington Jefferson Health, Wanderlust, UN Culture of Peace, and many others. As a former podcast host, Alex's top-rated iTunes podcast, SoulFeed, reached over 1.5 million downloads in all U.S. States and 130+ countries, topping the charts in self-help and health categories. He famously interviewed the likes of Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra, Gabby Bernstein, and more.
In his personal life, Alex is married to writer Clairelise Kip and lives happily in San Diego. An advocate for giving back, he actively supports charitable causes and was honored as a "Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Hero."
Above all, Alex believes in the power of love and continues to inspire others through his acting, art, and actions.
