Alexander Aristides "Alex" Reid (born 21 July 1975) is an English mixed martial artist, kickboxer, and actor. He has fought for Cage Rage, BAMMA, UCMMA and Bellator. Throughout his MMA career he has fought some well known fighters, especially from the earlier days of the UFC, such as former welterweight champion Dave Menne and UFC 14 middleweight finalist Tony Fryklund, he has also faced Murilo Rua, Tom Watson, Xavier Foupa-Pokam, Chris Wotton, Mark Weir, and Jorge Rivera.
Reid was born in Aldershot, Hampshire, the son of Bob and Carol Reid. He is the youngest of six siblings. He is of Scottish descent on his father's side.
In 1991, Reid was a member of the Hampshire Scout unit that was visiting Japan and South Korea, taking part in the 17th World Scout Jamboree at Mount Sorak National Park. In 1996, Reid enlisted with 10th (Volunteer) Battalion of the Parachute Regiment (10 PARA), a Territorial Army unit based in London, and spent three years training as a recruit before being discharged.
In 1998 Reid studied on the one-year acting course at the Guildford School of Acting, in Surrey.
Reid played Jason Cunliffe in the Channel 4 soap-opera Hollyoaks, which he left in 2001. He made an appearance in the comedy My Hero in the following year. At this time he used the stage name "Alex Thorne". After a period away from acting, he appeared in the film Killer Bitch which was released in 2010; the film was described as pornographic and received terrible pre-release coverage. The film was made when he was still largely unknown, working as fighter and doorman, but released after he had become a celebrity. Reid failed to show up at the Premiere of the film at the Curzon Cinema, Mayfair, drawing criticism from the cast of the film. He had previously attacked the producers for 'using him for publicity', though he had walked out of the film without completing the role causing a complete shut down of the production for 6 weeks. He was replaced by ex-World Champion boxer Robin Reid (no relation). In June 2010, Reid challenged Reid to a boxing match. Reid signed with Salopian Films for a new comedy series called For the Love of Ella.
