Suas aparições mais recentes foram no longa “Sob Suspeita” (2006) e na série “Magic City”, de 2012.

Os trabalhos do ator foram ainda recorrentes na dublagem, tendo emprestado sua voz para o personagem Roger Meyers Jr., de ‘Os Simpsons’ .

Alex Rocco foi casado duas vezes, a primeira com Sandie Elaine Rocco, que morreu de câncer em 2002, e a segunda com a atriz Shannon Wilcox.
