Alexander Yuille

A licensed tour guide, Alex expressed interest in history at a young age.  When other eight-year-olds asked for Hot Wheels for Christmas, Alex requested Herodotus.  He spent his first nine years of matriculation at the oldest school in the country.  A second generation, Native New Yorker, his genetic make-up is the multi-cultural stuff of American Dreams.  He has traveled extensively across the globe and speaks several languages, if not fluently then passably. Although he tried short stints living on the West Coast and Gulf Coast, he returned home to the Big Apple where he vacillated for several years between studying history (Ithaca College/Portland State) and acting (The Actor’s Studio).  He’s got a photographic memory, a rockin track record “on the boards” and he sees maps in his head in 3D.  He sings, he acts, he can regale you with the dynastic history of any country in the world. SAVANT TOURS is the intersection of his passion for the theater as well as his unique grasp of the past.
