Biography

Alex Tarrant hails from Auckland, New Zealand, Aotearoa and is of Māori, Samoan and Niuean descent. He is a 2012 graduate of New Zealand’s prestigious drama school Te Kura Toi Whakaari O Aotearoa and has subsequently established himself as one of Australasia’s most prolific actors.

Following his studies, he was cast in many hit TV shows and films including Vegas, Shortland Street, When We Go To War, Filthy Rich, Tatau, SeaChange, 800 Words, and NCIS: Hawai’i.

2019 marked his international feature film debut, with his involvement in the Canadian feature film Night Raiders, which was written and directed by the Saskatchewan-born Cree/Métis filmmaker Danis Goulet (2019 Sundance Institute Indigenous Film Fellow). This saw Alex cast as the hero Leo for which he was nominated as best supporting actor at the 2022 Vancouver Film Critics Circle.

He can most recently be seen in Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power as Valandil in seasons 1 and 2, now streaming.
