Alexandra L. Doig (born June 8, 1973 in Toronto) is a Canadian actress best known for her role as Rommie in the science-fiction TV series Andromeda. Doig's "exotic" appearance stems from her mixed heritage - Irish/Scottish on her father's side, Filipina on her mother's. She was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, where her family held season tickets to their local theatre, and caught the acting bug at the age of nine, after seeing a production of Porgy and Bess. At the age of sixteen, she enrolled in a modelling course and was immediately picked up by an agent. She did commercials and modelling work, before dropping out of high school during her final year to pursue an acting career. She worked on stage productions of Romeo and Juliet and Arsenic and Old Lace while auditioning for film and television roles. |
