Alexander Gould

Alexander Gould burst onto the entertainment scene as a child prodigy, beginning his acting journey at the tender age of two and quickly securing small roles on popular late‑1990s television series. Born Alexander Jerome Gould on May 4, 1994, in Los Angeles, California, he grew up in a Jewish household where his sisters Emma and Kelly also pursued acting, fostering a creatively supportive environment. After a formative childhood immersed in the arts, Gould chose to deepen his cultural roots by joining the Nativ gap‑year program, living in Israel for nearly a year before enrolling at Clark University in 2013. He later transferred to Brandeis University, graduating in 2017 with a dual major in philosophy and politics, a testament to his intellectual curiosity beyond the screen. In June 2018, he married Lieba Hall, and the couple continues to reside in Los Angeles, maintaining close ties to their familial and cultural heritage. Alexander’s early accolades include the iconic role as the voice of Nemo in Pixar’s Finding Nemo, a performance that cemented his place in animated film history. He followed this success with a notable turn as Shane Botwin on Showtime’s Weeds, a role that earned him two Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. Throughout his teen years, he also contributed voice work to Bambi II and appeared in the cult classic How to Eat Fried Worms. After stepping back from acting to focus on academia, Gould returned briefly to voice work in Superman: Unbound (as Jimmy Olsen) and made a cameo in Finding Dory (2016). In 2018 he signed with the Abrams Acting Agency, signaling a renewed commitment to his craft while balancing personal pursuits.
