Nick Alexander was born Gloucestershire, England and brought up in Sussex. He moved to Canada at 17 and spent some time in Montreal. After that, Alexander worked as a radio engineer for Germany's American Forces Network in Frankfurt, where he wrote scripts for two shows and learned, how to do sound composition, which would help him in his career, later on.[1]

Soon enough, Alexander worked as a voice actor, director and adapter, himself.[1]
Among Alexander's most notable works are classics from Italian exploitation cinema (like some of the Black Emannuelle films), spaghetti westerns (Keoma), giallo films (Suspiria and Deep Red) and several films starring Bud Spencer and Terence Hill.
