In 1998 Alex studied on a one year acting course at the guilford school of acting in surrey, he appeared as a contestant on the hit itv show Gladiators, and also had a background role in the itv drama soilder soilder. Alex then went on to play Jason Cunliffe in the channel 4 soap Hollyoaks where he left in 2001. he was also a stand in for Tom Hanks in the film Saving Private Ryan, his most recent role was as a rapist in gangster movie Killer Bitch, this caused a lot of contraversy as people believed he was glamourising rape and violence, also starring in the film was carlton leach and Dave Courtney both known in the criminal underworld.
Alex failed to appear at the premier for his latest film which ment co star Yvette Rowland was forced to pose along side a cardboard cut out of Alex Reid, other people who attended the premier included westham hooligan Cass Pennant, ex jewel thief Lenny Hamilton and former bare knuckle fighter Pretty Boy Roy Shaw, and Kray Twins driver Billy Frost. Katie Price was reported as saying that it was unwise for Alex to be connected with these people.
In 1996 Alex spent three years as a member of 10 para which are a Territorial Army unit based in London. Alex who calls himself the reidonator started martial arts when he was 14, he started off doing Kung Fu and Karate tournaments before progressing to Boxing and Kickboxing, he also tried Judo and Jitsu. He then went on to MMA as it was the most effective and efficiant blend of Martial Arts, Alex tried out for the ninth series of The Ultimate Fighter but lost his tryout match to Dean Amasinger by unanimous decision and failed to make it into the house. Alex is largely unpopular among MMA fans as he has been seen to be arrogant and big headed both in and out of his fights. Alex caused a lot of contraversy when he fought 19 year old Jake Bostwick, after alex floored Jake with his right knee he then went back to Jake who was still dazed on the ground and triumphantly poses with one foot on Jake's back while throwing his hands up in the air, his disrespect for his floored apponent sparks anger in the cage with a member of Jake's camp hitting out at Alex. the crowd were up in arms and booing Alex who was then crowned winner. Dave O Donnell who is founder of ultimate Challange Uk was reported as saying " Expect the unexpected with Alex Reid, he is a entertainer and unlike other fighters you never know what your going to get, it was a spur of the moment action and he apoligised to Jake afterwards there is no hard feelings between them."
In september 2009 Alex went on to fight Jack 'the stone' Mason which was heavily publicised due to the fact his new girlfriend Glamour model and Business woman Katie 'Jordan' Price was going to be watching from the crowd, Many people said Alex had not been prepared for the fight as he was constantly seen out on the lash with his new gf, Mason who had trained hard for the fight against Alex started off slowly but soon picked up his game while Alex was obviously tired out and sluggish. by the end of it everyone thought Jack Mason had won the fight so everyone was very suprised when it was announced that Alex had infact won with a unanimous decision, Katie never one to miss publicity stripped off in the crowd and changed into a custom made little black dress with the words 'The Champ' embroled accross it, she then stepped into the ring to a angry crowd all boing and chanting names at the couple, katie responded by sticking her fingers up at the crowd and shouting profanity at them.
