After ''Gravity Falls'' ended its run in 2016 (with the stated intention of avoiding SeasonalRot), Hirsch became involved with the film-making industry, providing some contributions to the stories and dialogue of ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'' and ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', but left the former during pre-production and was uncredited on the latter.

* TakeThat: Like [[Creator/DanaTerrace his ex-girlfriend]], he isn't afraid to scathingly call out far-right politicians, ''especially'' UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump during his presidency, as well as calling out Disney on their less-than-moral actions, the most famous in recent memory being during Pride Month 2021 when Disney tried to pander to the LGBT community, to which Alex noted that outside of Pride Month, Disney has been cutting representation for the sake of profit.

* AmicableExes: With Creator/DanaTerrace. Although it's subtly implied that they broke up, he seems happy enough to still do voice work for King on [[WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse Dana's show]].

* HeroesWantRedheads: He was in a relationship with Creator/DanaTerrace, who has auburn hair.

* {{Troll}}: Apart from the many, many ways he's messed with fans of his work, he notably [[https://twitter.com/_alexhirsch/status/1324911326624272384?lang=en called in]] to a dubious "voter fraud hotline" in the aftermath of the 2020 election, making ludicrous claims in-character as Soos and Stan.

* PlayingGertrude: He was nearing his 30s during ''Gravity Falls''' run, yet he voiced the 60+ Stan Pines, Old Man [=McGucket=], and the 100+ Mayor Befufftlefumpter.
