Alyson Hannigan was born on March 24th, 1974 in Washington D.C. She has been in the acting field since she was four years old. In her early career she appeared in a medley of commercials for Oreo Cookies, McDonald's and Six Flags Amusement Parks.
After meeting with success in her commercial endeavors, the family decided a move to Los Angeles would be necessary in order for Alyson to continue to advance in her career. So when Alyson was eleven, the family moved to the bright lights of Los Angeles, giving her the opportunity to break into film and television.
Her first big screen appearance was in My Stepmother is an Alien. She landed the starring role as Dan Aykroyd's daughter, Jessie Mills. Alyson was fourteen years old. Her sympathetic portrayal of Jessie eventually earned her additional guest and starring roles in various movie and television productions including Picket Fences, Roseanne, and Touched by an Angel. While she experienced the inevitable setbacks and dry periods associated with her chosen career path, her positive attitude saw her through the difficult times.
Her advice to other Hollywood hopefuls is Just don?t let it (audition and rejection) get you down. This perseverance and determination eventually saw Alyson emerge as one of her generation's hottest talents with her starring role as Willow in Buffy the Vampire Slayer where she plays a shy wallflower who becomes Buffy's friend and confidante, and in the Paramount feature Dead Man on Campus.
When Alyson is not busy with work, which isn?t very often these days, she enjoys kickboxing, bike riding, surfing the web and her cats and dogs. She also tries to find the time during her busy work schedule to call some of the fans that write to her and chat with them on the Posting Board on the official Buffy the Vampire Slayer web site. Alyson also takes time out of her busy schedule to attend science fiction conventions and charity events to promote her TV show and interact with her growing legion of fans.
So what does someone so young and as successful as Alyson wish for in her future? A Julia Roberts profile? A Sylvester Stalone salary? No, not this green eyed beauty, as Alyson explains, you have to go for the good things world peace, a cure for everything, and a really cool house.
The humility, sparkling intelligence and innocence behind such a response is displayed each week in her portrayal of Willow. There is little wonder why fans around the globe will root for Alyson, in hoping her dreams come true. Although, not being as selfless as Alyson, they may add to the list Ten more years of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and more of Alyson on the big screen during her hiatus.
