Alexander England was selected to play Tony Greig, a former captain of the English cricket team known in Australia for his cricketing commentary, in 2012 for the television miniseries Howzat! Kerry Packer's War. To copy Greig's distinctive accent, England listened to commentary recordings.[1]
In 2016, England was cast to play Harry Crewe in the Australian television series Offspring. Joining the show in season 6, England said "Offspring is a really interesting show tonally. It can swing from the extreme height of comedy to serious tragedy within one episode.I knew I was going to have to pay attention to what was going on around me and really respond it."[4]
