Alyson Hannigan |
Prior to her breakthrough role on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alyson Hannigan was just another struggling actress trapped in small roles in forgettable films. But then Willow Rosenberg (her character on Buffy) was born, and Alyson’s career took off. Her role in the American Pie trilogy only cemented her status as a versatile and endearing actress.
Alyson re-established her presence on television in 2005, starting with an acclaimed stint on the hit show Veronica Mars (a program that Buffy creator Joss Whedon has repeatedly called his favorite on the air). Her winning streak continued into the fall, with the premiere of the sitcom How I Met Your Mother (also starring Josh Radnor and Neil Patrick Harris).
Given that How I Met Your Mother continues to deliver superb ratings in its time slot, expect to see more of Alyson on the program. The actress is also scheduled to appear in Date Movie, a new spoof flick from two of the writers of the original Scary Movie. The film, which also stars Eddie Griffin and , promises to showcase Alyson’s superb comedic abilities.
