Taso Alexander is a Toronto-based commercial director working with Arts & Sciences in the US and UK since April 2024. With a degree in Acting for Film & Television and experience in casting, Alexander brings an instinctive understanding of performance to his work, earning him recognition as a true actor's director. His dry, deadpan comedic sensibility—described by Arts & Sciences Managing Director James Bland as "instinctively funny" and "virtuoso with comedy"—has been applied to campaigns for Burger King via BBH London, RBC Insurance, Molson Coors, Smarty, Tesco, and Mobile Vikings via AKQA Brussels. Alexander's Burger King work, including the "Surgery" and "Surprise" spots, exemplifies his talent for playing absurdity straight, while his March 2026 "First Date" campaign for Mobile Vikings (produced by HAMLET Brussels) showcases light, self-deprecating humor. His short film "The Spadina House" earned a Vimeo Staff Pick, and his micro-short "Special Skills" was selected for the 1.4 Awards, demonstrating precise comedic timing and physical comedy. Alexander also created "Adventures In Casting," a comedy series drawing on his casting background. His purposeful camera movement and ability to direct grounded yet hilarious performances distinguish his commercially active, comedy-focused reel.
