Alex Duong, Los Angeles Comedian and Actor, Dies at 42

A family friend confirmed the news on a GoFundMe page created during his treatment.

Overview

  • The performer, who a family friend said died Saturday, passed a day after a septic shock led to his hospitalization on Friday.
  • He had alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive soft‑tissue cancer diagnosed in early 2025 after pain behind his eye.
  • The tumor cost him vision in his left eye, and the family statement said he was comfortable and surrounded by loved ones at the end.
  • He is survived by his wife, Christina, and their five‑year‑old daughter, Everest, who were able to see him during his final hours.
  • Duong was a fixture in the Los Angeles comedy scene with credits on shows like Everybody Hates Chris, Dexter, Pretty Little Liars, The Young and the Restless, and Blue Bloods, and peers held an August benefit at Largo that included Ronny Chieng and Atsuko Okatsuka.
