A veteran performer who has been acting since the age of four,
Alyson Hannigan portrayed Willow Rosenberg, Buffy's best friend and confidant, in the hit television series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Her character developed throughout the seasons from the high school computer geek of the early episodes to, now, a powerful wiccan with a dark side.
Born in Washington D.C., Hannigan moved to Atlanta at age two. 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. At age 11, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting roles in television and film.
Her breakthrough role came at age 13 when she was cast as Dan Akroyd'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 character on the series "Almost Home" and a series regular on "Free Spirit."
This summer, Hannigan will be seen starring in Universal's much-anticipated sequel "American Wedding", in which she will reprise her role as the flute playing band camper, Michelle, alongside co-star Jason Biggs.
Hannigan resides in Los Angeles and is currently engaged to former 'Buffy' actor Alexis Denisoff (Wesley Windham Price).
