Canadian born actor and singer Alex Gaumond moved from Montreal to the UK in 1997 to study at the celebrated Guildford School of Acting where he achieved a 1st class BA (Hons).

After completing his degree at GSA in 2000, Alex made his professional debut that very same year in the ensemble of 'Miss Saigon' in the Philippines where he was flown half way across the world to feature in a show that is very close to the country’s heritage. Alex also understudied the leading role of Chris in that production and went on to perform in the same musical in Hong Kong and Singapore in 2001.

2002 saw Gaumond make his professional West End debut at the Prince Of Wales where he understudied the roles of Malcolm, Jerry and Ethan in 'The Full Monty'. After completing this Gaumond then played the character of Malcolm in the national tour of 'The Full Monty' in 2004, which marked his first leading role.

Between 2002 and 2009 Gaumond made a number of appearances in a variety of UK national tours and London shows, particularly noteworthy performances include 'Guys And Dolls' (Donmar Warehouse production), 'Desperately Seeking Susan', 'Sunday In The Park With George' (5 times Olivier Award winning production) and 'Scrooge' where he played the role of Tom Jenkins at the London Palladium and recorded a cast album with arguably Britain’s first teen idol and rock star, Tommy Steele.

In 2009 his career took to new levels when he was cast by Ben Elton, Brian May and Roger Taylor to play the lead role of Galileo in their acclaimed musical 'We Will Rock You'. The stage adaptation of songs taken from infamous British band Queen began life at the Dominion Theatre in the West End in 2002 and became the longest running musical at the Dominion, and in 2009 the show was taken on a UK tour for the first time with Gaumond performing 7 shows a week for 7 months, playing at the Palace Theatre in Manchester, the Sunderland Empire, the Birmingham Hippodrome and the Bristol Hippodrome.

In 2009 Gaumond learned of his success with another musical which was to debut at the Savoy Theatre in London in January 2010. He had been cast to play the male lead (Emmett) in the original UK production of the stage adaptation of 'Legally Blonde'. This exciting character provides Alex with a freshly written role for theatre that has been superbly crafted by the writers and brilliantly moulded by Alex so that he makes the role his own.

2011 is set to be a fast paced year for Alex with plans to release his first solo record and to explore deeper into the world of films. Quality of production is vital to Alex and his momentous drive to succeed as a hungry individual places him in the forefront of whatever this year holds in store for the talented Canadian.
