Writer, actor, and comedian Alex Duong has died after battling cancer. Duong—known from projects such as Blue Bloods, Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle, and The Beyond—died at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, California, surrounded by loved ones. He went into septic shock on Friday night before passing away the following morning, according to TMZ. The Dallas native was diagnosed with the rare soft tissue cancer alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma after experiencing headaches, with a biopsy finding an aggressive tumor behind his eye in need of immediate treatment. Duong battled cancer for over a year, with his social media confirming that he underwent surgery to remove a malignant mass behind his eye in early 2025, but needed further procedures after inconclusive results. The comedian initially pursued a degree in medicine before his writing skills were noticed by producers. His work was soon performed on the Los Angeles theater circuit before he went on to help write for Netflix’s Historical Roasts.
