A new Righteous Gemstones character has appeared in the Episode 4.1 cast list, Alex Saxon as "Thaddeus," no doubt a Civil War guy.
According to Alex Saxon's biography on the IMDB, he was born in 1987 in Liberty, Missouri, 15 miles north of Kansas City, began acting in the theater at age 8.
The William Jewell College in Liberty is affiliated with the Baptist Church, so I imagine that it's not at all gay friendly.
Alex hit Los Angeles in 2011, and began acting for the screen:
The Olivia Experiment (2012): A woman suspects that she is asexual, so she accepts a friend's offer of a night with her own boyfriend to find out. That is wrong on so many levels. You know whether you're into someone or not without actually having it. That's like the people who ask "How do you know you don't like going with women unless you've tried it?" Easy...look at a woman, and ask yourself "Do you want to go with her?"
Alex plays a member of the Asexual Support Group, where Olivia is informed that she's not really asexual, she's just afraid to open up to intimacy.
Young Paul Holt in Chapman (2013), which seems to be a Western.
Young Henry Bird in The Advocates (2013), which seems to be about lawyers
Chloe in two episodes of Ray Donovan (2013-2015): a "transvestite" hooker who is blackmailing movie star Tommy (Austin Nichols) to get money for "a s*x change." What is this, 1975? The vocabulary is all wrong. Transgender people don't get "s*x changes," they transition.

Coin Heist (2017), about four teens -- "the hacker, the slacker, the athlete, and the perfect student," who scheme to steal from the U.S. Mint. Alex, with relatively short hair, plays the Slacker, who is the ex-boyfriend of the Perfect Student (a girl, of course) and falls in love with the Hacker (a girl, of course). Not to worry, the Perfect Student hooks up with the Athlete (a boy, of course), so everything is all tied up into a nice little heteronormative package.

36 episodes of the teen angst series Finding Carter (2014-15) as the on-off boyfriend of Carter's sister.
10 episodes of The Fix (2019) as the stepson of Sevvy Johnson (Adewale Akinnouye-Agbaje), an actor accused of murdering two of his girlfriends. He assaults his father, gets into fights, and does other deviant stuff while dating girls.
62 episodes of Nancy Drew(2019-23), as a drug-addled outsider who becomes one of the teen sleuth's scoobies and dates girls.
Noticing a pattern in Alex's screen presence? Long hair, soft, feminine, gay-coded in spite of his characters' endless series of girlfriends.
He doesn't have Instagram, and his X just promotes his tv series, so his personal life is up for speculation. LezWatch calls him cisgender heterosexual, but that may just be default.
Could he be gay in real life?
More after the break
Maybe not.
I can't find any n*de photos of "Alex Saxon,", but there are a lot of Dan Saxons. He has seven acting roles on the IMDB, all in gay adult videos, from 2019-2023.
That's the same time period when Alex was on Nancy Drew. Certainly not the same person, but with the same penchant for long hair. Maybe an older brother? Or maybe it's a stage name.
Another Dan Saxon, adult video performer, this one from Australia. I guess it's a common stage name.
As long as we're researching, here's John Saxon (1936-2020), 1950s teen idol turned horror movie hunk turned tv authority figure. In the 1970s and 1980s, he appeared in Falcon Crest, Dynasty, Hardcastle and McCormick, The A-Team, Magnum P.I., Murder She Wrote...well, eveything. But it turns out that his birth name was Carmine Orrico. Henry Willson, the agent who created the 1950s beefcake look, gave him the stage name John Saxon so he would appear more...um, Anglo-Saxon.
