Reed Alexander (born December 23, 1994) is an American journalist, author, and former actor from Boca Raton, Florida.[2] He is best known for his role as Nevel Papperman in Nickelodeon's iCarly.[3][4]

Two years after his last appearance on the show, he then appeared on Sam & Cat, a spin-off of iCarly and Victorious (another Nickelodeon show) in the episode "#SuperPsycho" reprising his character from the former show. His food blog that began in 2009 turned into a second career as a spokesman for healthy eating habits.[3][4]

He appeared in Will & Grace for which he was nominated for Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a Television Series (Comedy) – Guest Starring Actor.[5] He was also in 2009's direct-to-video telefilm Ace Ventura Jr.: Pet Detective.[6]

Alexander has been a spokesperson for the American Heart Association and Clinton Foundation's anti-obesity program called Alliance for a Healthier Generation, and has been involved in promoting Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative,[7] and has been credited with being able to get healthy eating messages to young audiences.[8] He has published a website on healthy eating geared towards young people and a book, KewlBites: 100 Nutritious, Delicious, and Family-Friendly Dishes (2013).[9]

Alexander obtained his undergraduate degree in media studies and broadcast journalism from New York University.[10] As of 2020, he is pursuing his master's of science in journalism at Columbia University.[11][12]
