Alexandra Breckenridge was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut. She moved to Los Angeles as a teenager in pursuit of a career in Hollywood. By her twentieth birthday, she had already featured in double-digit films and television shows. You might know Breckenridge for her role as Jessie Anderson in “The Walking Dead”, that is just a sterling part of who she has become for the industry; there are a lot more about the red-haired star and we dug and presented you with the following facts.
Alexandra Breckenridge’s non-movie career: Singing and photography
Growing up, Alexandra didn’t just want to be a movie star, she wanted to sing in almost the same proportion. She did sing in the bathroom and at home, exercising her voice and hoping to one day stand before the mic. Her break came in the movie aspect of her dual dream and she has now been immersed in it. Breckenridge looks like one who would be able to do the two, so we are not ruling out seeing her in the studio someday.
While music didn’t quite work out, another liking of her which has more luck is photography and she does it in her spare time, to express another form of her creative spirit and to relax from the pressure and tension of being an actor.
The star equally likes expressing herself via tattoos which she likes so much and has a lot on her body. Never noticed them? You won’t, they are usually covered whenever she plays a role that doesn’t entail the character having tattoos, and this is the majority of the time.

Alexandra Breckenridge is equally a voice actress. She played several roles in the animated television series “Family Guy”. She originally auditioned to play guest roles in the series but such was the beauty of the sound of her voice that the creator of the show, Seth MacFarlane, called her back and handed her a barren full of roles. Besides this, Alexandra has also played voice roles in the “American Dad!” and “Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy”.
In 2015, AMC post-apocalyptic horror series “The Walking Dead” premiered with Alexandra Breckenridge playing the role of Jessie Anderson, the unhappy abused wife who found respite in another man when her husband died but this didn’t last as she is devoured by the zombies.
