IMDb profile

Axel Green (credited as Alex Green) is a Chapleau, Ontario-born Canadian actor, producer, and film technician who portrays a deckhand in "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down". He is a full member of ACTRA and accumulated his acting credits during a Vancouver-based career in the early 2000s before transitioning to work as a Key Grip and film producer in Northern Ontario.

Career

Green grew up in Chapleau, Ontario, where he began performing as a gymnast and in school theatre productions. After relocating to London, Ontario, he attended H. B. Beal Secondary School, where he appeared in theatre and participated in a televised high school newscast. He subsequently enrolled in the theatre program at George Brown College in Toronto, writing and directing two plays during his studies. He then moved to Vancouver to complete the acting program at the Vancouver Film School.

In Vancouver, Green and colleague Steve Schmidt formed the production company Cooking with Bob Productions, through which they produced a music video for local musician Marnie Mains. Green secured speaking roles in several Vancouver-filmed television series, including John Doe, Romeo!, "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down" on Battlestar Galactica, Whistler, Da Vinci's Inquest, and Intelligence. He also appeared in the independent feature The Delicate Art of Parking (2003) and in the Hollywood productions Freddy vs. Jason (2003, credited as Alex Green) and Snakes on a Plane (2006). These credits fulfilled his requirements for full ACTRA membership.

In 2006, Green relocated to Austin, Texas, where he volunteered as an anchor at Longhorn Pulse, a television program at the University of Texas. He later returned to Vancouver, where he worked as a photo double, stand-in, and stunt driver for Jackie Earle Haley on Human Target (Season 1). In 2010, he produced the short film Dead Simple, shot in Vancouver; the film was selected as a finalist for the CTV Best in Shorts award at the Cinefest Sudbury festival and received an award of merit for cinematography.

In January 2012, Green produced, co-wrote, starred in, and served as first assistant director on the feature film The Road to Tophet, a Kharisma Pictures production shot in his hometown of Chapleau. The film, directed by Steve Schmidt and written by Green, Schmidt, and Jeremy Beal, starred Green alongside Adam Beach and Samuel Thivierge and was released in 2014. Schmidt described the project's origins in a 2019 account, noting that he and Green had long discussed filming a story set in Chapleau and that both were working in the Vancouver film industry when they began development.

Green subsequently worked as a Key Grip across productions in Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, and Northern Ontario, accumulating over a decade of experience in that capacity. He holds membership in IATSE Local 873/891, NABET 700, and AQTIS, and is a founding member of IATSE 634 Film. Among his Key Grip credits are The Witch (2015), The Silencing (2020), and Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021). As of 2025, Green serves as the public relations and acquisitions manager at White Owl Film Studios, a production facility located on the Wahnapitae First Nation near Greater Sudbury, Ontario, where he advocates for expanding the Northern Ontario film industry.
