When a national casting call was released for The Glee Project, Alex sent in a self-taped audition and went on to finish second in the competition. This landed him a role on Fox's Glee as Wade "Unique" Adams. Alex was then cast in Hulu's Resident Advisors and NBC's Imaginary Friend. He has also appeared in the Broadway production Once On This Island, where he played Asaka, Mother of the Earth, according to New York Theatre Guide.

The actor is currently playing Mo on Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, a new NBC series about a young woman who is able to understand people's innermost thoughts in the form of songs. Alex's casting as Zoey's neighbor allows him to help her understand the power of song and its communicative abilities.
