Alexander Dreymon: biography
Actor Alexander Doetsch, better known as Alexander Dreymon, is a true citizen of the world. He was born in Germany on February 7, 1983, but lived there for only a few months. First, his parents moved to France, where Alexander spent most of his childhood. The reason for moving was the illness of his mother’s sister.

After that, the boy finally decided to become an actor. After graduating from school, Alexander Dreymon studied acting in France for three years.
