Alex Mallari

Before he began his career as an actor, Philippines-born and Canadian-bred Alex Mallari Jr. was a martial artist, competing in Tae Kwan Do at the national level.

Mallari made his acting debut in 2009, in a segment of a TV documentary, followed by a guest role on an episode of Steven Seagal vehicle "True Justice" (Reelz, 2012-13). Mallari made his film debut as a dancer in "A Dance for Grace" (2010).

Mallari continued to work in television and on the web, earning small guest roles in series like "Nikita" (CW, 2010-13), 'Cybergeddon" (Yahoo, 2012), and Canadian young adult series "The L.A. Complex" (CTV 2012). Mallari also appeared in a number of feature films including "Debug" (2014), the rebooted "Robocop" (2014) and "Pay the Ghost" (2015).
