- Actress
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

was not picked up. In 2005, Alex appeared in the ABC Family movie
Romy and Michele: In the Beginning (2005) 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
