In this episode, Alex Thomas-Smith, actor, performer and proud trans-fem non-binary creative shares their journey from growing up in Leeds to making it on the West End and breaking into TV.
Alex opens up about falling in love during Covid, spontaneous moves to Berlin, and how communication became the cornerstone of a five-year relationship.
They speak candidly about gender identity, attachment styles, and the interracial dynamics of their partnership. Alex reflects on growing up mixed race in the north of England, discovering community later in life, and learning to stand proudly in both their Blackness and queerness.
We also dive into the realities of shifting from musical theatre to TV acting, the challenges of typecasting, and the joy of landing a breakout role in What It Feels Like for a Girl. Alex’s story is one of authenticity, resilience, and finding home both on stage and in love.
