Who is Alex 'Achilles' King? 'The Courtship' suitor grew up reading Shakespeare
Reality TV shows are popular with viewers, and there are plenty of folks brave enough to take a risk on love in front of the camera. There are a variety of dating show themes, from players seeking the heart of a billionaire to people longing for love who get engaged without meeting in person. Now, on NBC, there's a new reality dating show called 'The Courtship,' which is different from 'Bridgerton' and 'The Bachelorette.' Like a modern twist on the old game of love, the series takes a page from Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice.'
Nicole Remy, a Seattle lady, on the hunt for her own Mr Darcy, is starring in the new show. 'Pride & Prejudice: An Experiment in Romance' was the official title of 'The Courtship.' The purpose of NBC's new dating series is to prove that chivalry isn't gone. The series will also include 16 suitors striving for the affection of Nicole.

Who is Alex “Achilles” King?
In 'The Courtship,' Alex will be one of the suitors. Alex is a San Diego-based online fitness coach. Achilles was born in the Dominican Republic and had an early interest in poetry and songwriting, which allowed him to express himself. He grew up reading Shakespeare and became interested in the actual art of romance as a result. Achilles' mother, who had brought him and his brothers to America, died in 2021. He now feels psychologically, physically, and spiritually ready to find the one lady who can make his life complete after taking the time to grieve. Achilles is looking for a long-term relationship with someone who will enable him to be himself, from impromptu gondola boat excursions to deep and serious intellectual chats.
Being a fitness freak, Alex keeps posting fitness-related content on his social media. Recently he posts a picture with the caption, "I have come to believe that many of us have hidden secrets, which are both very telling and very important to tell. They are telling due to perhaps the central paradox of our condition. What we as humans hunger more then anything else, is to be known in our full humanness, and yet that is often what we also fear. It’s good to remind yourself from time to time of who you are. Otherwise we run the risk of losing track of who we truly are, Instead of the highly edited version which we put forth in hopes that the world will find more acceptable than the real thing. Do you agree?"
Watch Alex in 'The Courtship', which begins on Sunday, March 6 at 8 pm ET/PT on NBC
