Alex the Lion

Alex the Lion is a famous Central Park Zoo lion from the Madagascar franchise. He is voiced by Ben Stiller.

Story
In Madagascar, due to escaping the zoo with Marty, Gloria, and Melman, they get shipped off to Madagascar, where they met King Julien, the trustworthy king. Julien encourages Alex to scare away the fossas, and becomes too hungry to do it.

In Madagascar 2, we learn about Alex's past, about how he ended up at the Central Park Zoo. Just about 35 years later, Alex and co. return to Africa where Alex reunites with his parents.

In Madagascar 3, Alex and the gang end up in Europe and join a circus with some animals including the annoying Stefano, a sea lion, Alex's lovestruck Gia, a cheetah, and the grumpy Vitaly, a tiger. Altogether, they must flee from animal control officer Captain Chantel Dubois.
