Alison Brie was born in Hollywood,
California, the city of dreams, and at an early age, Schermerhorn knew she wanted to be an
actor. Her taste of acting came early as she performed in Community Theater
shows at the Jewish Community Center in Los Angeles. Alison's first role was
playing Dorothy's dog Toto in the well-known story of Wizard of Oz.
She
went on to attend the California Institute of the Arts and earned her BFA in
Acting, and then studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in
Glasgow, Scotland. For extra cash, she worked as a clown at children's birthday
parties.
One of Alison's first
television roles was on the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana as a beginning
hairdresser. The actress has gone on to star simultaneously in two very
well-known television shows. In 2007, she began playing the role of Trudy
Campbell, Pete Campbell's wife on Mad Men, set in the 1960s.
In 2009, Alison was also cast as Annie Edison in the comedy Community, about a group of students at a community college.
The busy actress told Hit Fix,
"So there was a day where I was in the morning on Community and in the evening on Mad Men in the same
day."
While television is
what she is best known for, the actress has been branching off into roles on
the big screen. In 2011, she played Sidney Prescott's (Never) assistant,
Rebecca Walters, in the thriller Scream 4. She played Chris Pratt's wife in The Five-Year Engagement, which starred Jason Sigel and Emily Blunt. In 2013's Get a Job Alison stars
alongside Anna Kendrick,
Jon Cho and Bryan Cranston as a group of recent college graduates
attempting to secure jobs. Most recently, she starred in Get Hard (2015).
