The actor opened up about the impact of losing a parent after his dad died of lung cancer in 1983 at aged 55. He said the teacher was a "uniquely caring" and "dedicated" mentor, whose "irreplaceable" shoes can never be filled.
Alongside a picture of Alexander in a suit and a portrait of him as an adult, the 61-year-old wrote on Instagram: "Today marks the anniversary of my father's passing: April 15, 1983. My father was a uniquely caring, dedicated, stern, smart and, at times, funny man who served as a public school teacher and coach for 28 years until his death at age 55.
"Beyond missing those who are no longer with us, beyond wondering where they have gone and how life might have been if they had lived longer, the loss of a parent sets in motion the 'orphan clock'. The time when, after both parents are gone, one is an orphan in the world. With no one alive to parent you, which is a wondrous and vital calling.
"My mother is still alive, but the death of my father effected me tremendously and set me on a course of seeking other men to advise me. To care for me. Mentor me. No one has quite filled that position.
"A mother, a father, under the best of circumstances, though never perfect ones, are irreplaceable. I miss you, Dad."
