Alexander Bertrand is an Australian actor known for his compelling performances in crime dramas and character-driven television series. He rose to prominence playing the titular role in ABC’s Les Norton and portraying real-life figure Pasquale Barbaro in Channel Seven’s Australian Gangster. With a natural intensity and rugged charm, Bertrand has established himself as a rising talent in the Australian screen industry.

Before embarking on an acting career, Bertrand explored a variety of paths — including working in security, snowboarding, and competing in kickboxing. He later joined the Australian Army, but a knee injury led to his discharge. In 2015, he redirected his focus to the arts, enrolling in drama school where he developed the craft that would launch his acting career.

Bertrand’s breakout role came in 2018 when he filmed Australian Gangster, portraying underworld figure Pasquale Barbaro. Though production wrapped that year, the series was delayed and did not air until 2021 due to ongoing legal matters. His next major role came in 2019, starring as Les Norton, a doorman in Sydney’s notorious Kings Cross — a character he related to personally, having held the same job during his acting studies. Bertrand’s authentic performances and diverse background continue to shape his distinctive voice in Australian television.
