Alex Bennett (Home And Away)
Alex Bennett is a fictional character from the Australian television soap opera '' Home and Away'', played by Nick Freedman. The serial's producers thought of Freedman for the role of "easy-going hippy" Alex, having seen his previous work in other television dramas. Freedman was hesitant about accepting the role due to his career as a musician, so he only signed a year-long contract. He found the demands of filming the weekly serial intense, especially as he was used to late nights while performing with his band. He made his first appearance during the episode broadcast on 16 October 1995. In addition to his hippy ways, Alex was portrayed as "laid-back" and "a real romantic at heart". Freedman said he was "a good guy", who had endured a difficult childhood and had become "a bit of a drifter". Alex is a cartoonist and painter, who becomes a "have-a-go hero" when he saves Shannon Reed (Isla Fisher) and Selina Cook ( Tempany Deckert) from a group of youths. He later saves Selina from ...
