Alex Breckenridge
Alex
Breckenridge was born on May 15 1982 in Darien, Connecticut before
moving to California when she was 12. Breckenridge first got an interest
in acting at 13 when she performed in local theater productions and
soon moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career.
Her first
film was the independent comedy picture Locust Valley (1999). She
followed up this performance with guest spots on several successful
series, including "Dawson's Creek" (1998) and "Freaks
and Geeks" (1999), and supporting roles in the films Big Fat
Liar (2002), Orange County (2002) and the short film D.E.B.S. (2003),
which won the award for Best Short at the 2003 New York Lesbian and
Gay Film Festival.
After appearing on the series "Buffy the
Vampire Slayer" (1997), Alex was offered her own series, the
UPN drama pilot Mystery Girl. Sadly, UPN chose to have only one female-led
detective series in the 2004-2005 season and Mystery Girl was not
picked up.
In 2005, Alex appeared in the ABC Family movie Romy
and Michele: In the Beginning (2005) (TV) and took on the role of
Michele Weinberger, played by Lisa Kudrow in the original 1997 film.
She also began work on the animated sitcom "Family Guy" (1999),
voicing celebrities such as Cybill Shepherd and Christina Aguilera.
In 2006, Alex is breaking into the mainstream with a lead role in
the comedy movie She's the Man (2006).
