Sasha Alexander
Jesse on Wasteland

Although a newcomer to television, Sasha Alexander is no stranger to the spotlight. Her acting career began in the seventh grade when she found herself cast as the lead female in her school's production of "Baby." What she didn't know was that her male costar would chicken out on her only a few hours before opening night. Embarrassed about playing a man, but determined to let the show go on, Sasha used her comedic skills and threw herself into the role. The audience response was overwhelmingly enthusiastic, and an actress was born.

The years that followed were spent mastering her acting skills and traveling the world. Throughout high school and college, she traveled east to New York from her native Los Angeles to perform in summer stock and Shakespeare Festival productions. It was here that her portrayal of Katherine in "The Taming of the Shrew" earned her the honor of studying in London with Cicely Barry and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Sasha graduated from USC's prestigious School of Cinema & Television, where she studied directing in an effort to hone behind-the-camera skills. All the while, she continued to add to her acting resume with appearances in several critically acclaimed independent films, which premiered at festivals across the country.

Later this year, Sasha can be seen in Sony Classics' "Twin Falls Idaho" and Milos Forman's "Man on the Moon," alongside Jim Carrey. She has also completed work on "Lucky 13," a comedy which she co-wrote, produced and stars in with Harland Williams and Lauren Graham.
