Career

Alexander England was selected to play Tony Greig, a former captain of the English cricket team known in Australia for his cricketing commentary, in 2012 for the television miniseries Howzat! Kerry Packer's War . To copy Greig's distinctive accent, England listened to commentary recordings. [1]

In 2016, England was cast to play Harry Crewe in the Australian television series Offspring . Joining the show in season 6, England said "Offspring is a really interesting show tonally. It can swing from the extreme height of comedy to serious tragedy within one episode. I knew I was going to have to pay attention to what was going on around me and really respond it." [3]

England starred opposite Lupita Nyong'o and Josh Gad in the 2019 zombie comedy horror film Little Monsters . [4]

England in 2019 appeared in channel 7 drama Secret Bridesmaids' Business . [5] England later appeared in Stan Australia series Caught. [6]
