Fight Director
Alex Payne
Alex Payne is a fight director and stunt performer who creates bold, character-driven action for stage and screen. Originally trained as an actor at East 15 Acting School, he brings a performer’s eye and playful precision to every punch, fall, and near miss. His work spans West End productions and screen projects including the award-winning series Vikings. Beyond the battlefront, Alex's artistic endeavours extend to Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, where he lends his directorial talents to Shakespearean productions for the non-profit organisation, Youth Bridge Global.
