Willow Rosenberg on "Buffy the Vampire
Slayer"
In "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Alyson Hannigan
plays a shy wallflower who becomes Buffy's
friend and confidante. In real life, Hannigan is a
veteran actress who has been performing
since the age of four. During the series' hiatus,
she filmed the Paramount/MTV Films feature
"Dead Man on Campus," starring Tom Everett
Scott.
She began her career in Atlanta doing
commercials, working steadily in national
spots for companies like McDonald's, Six
Flags Amusement Parks and Oreo cookies.
When Hannigan was 11, she moved to Los
Angeles in hopes of breaking into film and
television.
Her breakthrough role came when she was
cast as Dan Aykroyd's misunderstood
daughter in the feature film "My Stepmother Is
an Alien." She went on to guest star on a
number of popular television shows, including
"Picket Fences," "Roseanne" and "Touched by
an Angel." She was a recurring guest star on
the series "Almost Home" and a series regular
on "Free Sprit."
In her free time, the Washington, D.C. native
and Dr. seuss fan likes to surf the web,
practice kick-boxing and spend time with her
dogs and cats. She currently resides in Los
Angeles.
