Alexander will present various topics for the audience to pick and choose from, culminating in behind-the-scenes stories of his life, career, and social activism. Alternatively, ask about anything you’ve always wanted to know and see if he can answer. Alexander has starred on Broadway, in hit films like Pretty Woman and Shallow Hal, and, of course, on the TV series Seinfeld. He is an actor, director, producer, writer, children’s book author, award-winning magician, semi-pro poker player and social-political activist. It’s all on the table, and the conversation is completely in your control, making for a once-in-a-lifetime event.
