Alexander Cox (b. December 15, 1954) is a British film director and sometime actor, well known for his idiosyncratic style and scripts. His film Repo Man is often credited as one of the first truly independent movies. It was this film that brought him critical acclaim. Cox is the author of a number of screenplays, and he has also written on film for Sight and Sound, The Guardian, The Independent, and Film Comment. From 1988 to 1994, he presented Moviedrome on BBC Two, providing introductions to series of alternative or obscure films. As a film expert, Cox also lent his talent to numerous film documentaries, and provided introductions for ITV4's Spaghetti Western series.

I'm not sure about Alex Cox, some reports state his place of birth being Liverpool, others don't.....

I'm sure Alex has mentioned previousily that he was from Liverpool on a BBC2 film night thingy a few years ago.
