Buck Braithwaite is currently making quite an impression in the Netflix docudrama, Alexander: The Making of a God as the titular historical figure, Alexander the Great.
The Netflix series combines expert academic insight from historians and evidence from Dr. Calliope Limneos-Papakosta's ongoing excavations in Alexandria, Egypt with epic reenactment footage of history. The series charts Alexander's sudden rise to prominence: following the assassination of his father, King Philip II, Alexander became the King of Macedon at the age of 20. You can read all about this incident in our Alexander: The Making of a God episode 1 recap.
Alexander spent most of his reign locked in battle, having united his country and embarking on a lengthy campaign against the Persian Empire. Alexander eventually toppled the Persian ruler, Darius III, and his ambition and military acumen saw him laying claim to the largest Western empire in history, in just under six years.
