J.B. Alexander

I play men of intellect, authority, and conscience whose internal existential crises reveal the cost of moral conviction; characters who see the world's cruelty with clarity, yet can't stop striving for decency within it (e.g. Michael Stuhlbarg in A Serious Man, or Billy Crystal in City Slickers).  I do both drama and comedy in such parts as teacher, doctor, lawyer, therapist, dad, journalist, detective, professor, or rabbi.  

 

My great passion is the classic stage (Shakespeare and Chekhov, especially), and the love of my life is Franz Kafka about whom I've written several plays, including a one-man show about a struggling writer who is transformed into Kafka.  I am currently adapting it for              .
