Alex Thomas-Smith's biography

At a glance

  • Queer nonbinary actor and advocate
  • Rising West End performer and TV Actor
  • Advocate for identity, representation and inclusion in Arts
Alex Thomas-Smith is an actor and creative artist whose work spans stage and screen, with a focus on authenticity, visibility and representation. Their presence in mainstream productions, alongside boundary-pushing projects, makes them a powerful voice on the evolving entertainment industry. Originally from Leeds, Alex trained at Arts Educational Schools and began their career in television at the age of eleven. They went on to perform in some of the West End’s most prominent shows, including & Juliet, Rent, Dear Evan Hansen and Bat Out of Hell, while also appearing in a range of television series such as CBBC’s The Revenge Files of Alistair Fury and DIXI. As a queer, non-binary and working-class artist of colour, Alex brings lived experience to their work that resonates with many. Their creative journey has been shaped by intersecting identities and a commitment to honest storytelling. Through their performances and public speaking engagements, they offer a grounded and relatable perspective that fosters dialogue across communities and industries. Alex is also a dedicated advocate for inclusion in the arts and has engaged with organisations such as Warner Music Group and leading universities. Whether discussing gender identity, class, or cultural visibility, they bring clarity and insight to conversations that often lack both. Balancing success in high-profile productions with a drive to challenge norms, Alex continues to contribute to a broader shift towards equity and representation in the arts. Their work speaks to the power of seeing oneself reflected on stage and screen, and the importance of making space for that reflection to exist.
