Throughout her career, Alexander has been great at portraying badass women with multiple layers who are not afraid to be vulnerable. She is best known for bringing the character Maxine Shaw to life in Yvette Lee Bowser's hit 1990s Fox series Living Single starring Queen Latifah, Kim Fields and Kim Coles.

Max is an unabashedly confident and sassy lawyer who few can beat in court and who is usually a great friend. The series' popularity continues to rise through syndication and streaming as it is discovered by new generations.

Since the series ended in 1998, she has been busy with roles on television and in films. A selection includes USA Network's In Plain Sight, OWN's Queen Sugar, Prime Video's Bosch, HBO's Insecure, Hulu's Wu-Tang: An American Saga and Shining Girls for Apple TV+.

Alexander was back in the spotlight in 2023 as part of the ensemble cast of American Fiction, a feature film by Cord Jefferson and an awards season highlight. She starred opposite Jeffrey Wright as his love interest Coraline, a tough single mother who knows what she deserves in life and her relationships and she will accept nothing less.
