Alyson Hannigan is
comfortable hamming it up in front of a camera. She's been doing
just that since she began posing for her photographer parents'
ads in Washington, D.C. Her parents divorced when Alyson was
two, and when she was four, her mother moved with her to Atlanta,
where she began acting and appearing in commercials. Her first
ad was a print ad for Delta, and soon to follow were ads for
Six Flags, Oreos, and McDonald's.
When Alyson was eleven,
she convinced her mother to move to Los Angeles to pursue her
acting career, and she soon landed a role in My Stepmother is
an Alien, with Kim Basinger and Dan Akroyd. Seth Green, who
plays her boyfriend on Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, also played
her boyfriend in that movie.
Buffy the Vampire
Slayer premiered in March, 1997, and Alyson's been playing the
weekly role of everyone's favorite schoolgirl, Willow Rosenberg,
ever since.
In 1998, Alyson played
Lucy in Dead Man on Campus, but it was 1999's American Pie that
was her breakthrough film role. Everyone now knows Alyson as
Michelle, the "One time, at band camp" girl, from
American Pie.
Boys and Girls, in
2000, was barely noticed, but it looks like American Pie 2 will
offer her some much deserved attention. Look for Alyson soon
in Beyond City Limits.
Offscreen, Alyson
is a great lover and protector of animals, and lives with three
dogs, a cat, and two mice. She sports three tatoos, loves purple
and beanie babies, of which she has a large collection. Her
boyfriend is Alexis Denisof, (Wesley of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer,
and Angel.) She lives in L.A., where she works on the TV series
eight months of the year.
