Biography

  • Alex Kudo, a 1/2 Japanese, 1/2 British & 1/4 Jewish lad also known as Takeshi Alexander Kudo, was born in Los Angeles, California. He is an actor who most recently, completed work on various projects such as "My Dear", "Long Black Lashes", "A Bum's Life", "Broadcast" and an indie feature starring David Arquette titled "Land of the Astronauts". He was raised by the famous Japanese painter Muramasa Kudo and Susan Kudo. A natural athlete, Alex took to martial arts, and still studies Aikido, Wushu and Thai Kickboxing. He also started skateboarding at the end of age 13 and at age 19 became sponsored by Chaos skate shop in Santa Monica. One year later, Alex moved to New York and worked for many designers such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Urban Outfitters, Bloomingdales, Tommy Hilfiger, Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Machine Jeans and more as a model. His work has lead him around the world to places like Paris, London, Patagonia, Tokyo (for nearly a year) and Milan and landed him on the pages of GQ, Men's Vogue Japan, Details, Esquire, Complex, Maxim, Stuff, and others. Now back as a native of Los Angeles once again to reclaim his original focus, acting, Alex now studies with coach Joseph Pearlman who claims, "He is a natural. With his energy, talent, charm and looks. Acting is what he should be doing."
