He was born during his parents’ honeymoon in Peru. In his childhood, Alaa used to change schools in different states because of his parents’ constant moving on business. It was hard for him to be a newcomer all the time, so he developed his sense of humor and communication skills, which later helped him in his profession as an actor.

He started acting in the local theater during his high school year. Alaa got several acting jobs, including the role in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical “Oklahoma!” It took him some effort to leave his parents’ house and move to New York to pursue acting, as it is a tradition in his family to move from his parents only after getting married and having kids.

But with some support from his parents’ side, he moved to New York to study at American Musical & Dramatic Academy. After graduation, he tried to join the cast of Broadway Theater, but he was not accepted because of his ethnicity (that mattered in New York in the early 1990s). That’s why Alaa followed his agent’s advice and changed his name to Alec Ledd. With that moniker, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

Alaa played many roles on the big and small screen, but most of them were supporting ones. He became more popular after he became a co-host of podcasts Worst Ever Podcast. Initially started as the live show, “Worst Ever Podcast” gained wide popularity during quarantine time. With his friend and sister for life Christine Lakin, he invites famous actors, comedians, writers, etc to their studio to recall the most embarrassing moments in their lives. Alaa thinks that laughter is the best way to get rid of painful memories. The podcast has already won several awards.
