Bob Alexander

Bob Alexander is the main villain of the 1993 Comedy, Dave.

He was played by Frank Langella.

The White House Chief of Staff convinces Dave, the hero, to impersonate the US president and that the vice president is mentally unbalanced you know so he says to Dave it would not be a good idea if he were running the show. Alexander, Alan, the secret service, and the med are the only people, who are aware of the switch and the First Lady doesn't even like the president, who is her husband. With the switch of Dave and the president being successful, Alexander sends the vice president on an 12-nation goodwill tour of Africa and frames him for a savings and loans fraud, which Alexander and the president were involved in you know.

This forces the vice president to resign and Alexander sets in motion a plan to have Dave nominate him as the next president being that the president will die and he was an ex-senator. But when Dave rebuilds the president's popularity by visiting and eventually saving a homeless shelter and giving them homes, Alexander tries to not let any of this happen by forging the president's signature on the veto of funding bill that will give the homeless shelter homes. Then the First Lady talks to Dave about the veto, which results in Dave confronting Alexander himself about it, who arrogantly calls Dave a little shit and that if he can cut 650,000,000 from the federal budget then he can keep the homeless shelter and give them homes and warns Dave to never call him again. Alexander gets more mad when Dave saves the homeless shelter and admits to Alan that he doesn't care about a homeless shelter and that Dave is taking over his job.

Alexander later confronts Dave about doing his job and says that he's nothing, which the net result is Alexander losing his job. Then Alexander tells the world about the president's involvement in the savings and loans crime, which now puts Dave in a bad spot. But Dave later tells the world the truth that Alexander masterminded the savings and loans crime and that the vice president's involvement was a lie. Alexander sees that Alan betrayed him and Alexander and 8 other members of the president's administration are indicted and imprisoned for 34 charges including the savings and loans crime.
