Alexander Kirkland est un Acteur et Scénariste Mexicain né le 15 septembre 1901 à Mexico (Mexique)
William Alexander Kirkland (September 15, 1901, Mexico City, Mexico – circa 1986) was a leading man in Hollywood during the early sound era, as well as a notable stage actor.
He attended the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He toured as one of the Yale Puppeteers and then worked with the troupe at the Turnabout Theatre in Los Angeles, which operated from 1941 to 1956. His friend and theater colleague Forman Brown used him as the model for one of his characters in the early gay romance novel Better Angel (1933).
On radio, Kirkland played David Brewster in the soap opera Big Sister in the early 1940s, Curt Lansing in John's Other Wife, and Russell Barrington in Society Girl in that same era.
He married entertainer Gypsy Rose Lee in 1942. They separated after three months and
finally were divorced in 1944. From 1944 to 1950, he was married to socialite, actress, and TV producer Phyllis Adams Jenkins (1923-2004).
Little is known about his later years, but there have been no sources indicating his death, save from a source on IMDB, claiming his death sometime in the 1980s.

Pour alimenter une chronique radiophonique locale intitulée Un homme dans la foule, la jeune Marcia Jeffries s'en va recueillir la parole de prisonniers incarcérés dans la geôle du shérif. L'un d'eux, Larry Rhodes, accepte de s'exprimer contre une remise de peine. Le personnage s'avère d'une éloquence et d'une finesse surprenantes. Il se voit aussitôt proposer une émission quotidienne qui fait un tabac. Son talent charismatique l'amène à crouler sous les propositions d'embauche.

Rôle Major Dietrich Reichendorf
Note60%
During World War I, the wily and attractive French POW Sergeant Dumaine is sequestered in a prison camp near the castle of a prideful Prussian nobleman and military general, Count Reichendorf, who lives for the day that his four sons will march triumphantly into Paris. Having lost three sons to the French and English armies, and left with only one son, Dietrich, Reichendorf laments the days when his family made Prussia "the might of land." He is forced to recruit military men from the prison camp. Axelle, the daughter of one of the sons, who became his ward when her parents died, lives in the Reichendorf castle and makes periodic goodwill visits to the prison compound, where she first encounters Dumaine. Captain Ebbing, the martinet and disfigured prison commandant, develops an interest in Axtelle. He courts her, but Axelle shows little interest in him, and when he reminds her how he dazzled her before he went into battle, she rejects his affections and tells him that she is engaged to Dietrich. Ebbing pleads with her, insisting that his love for her is more intense and enduring than that of any other man, but she is not swayed.
