ABOUT
THIS ACTOR
Alisen Down (Canadian) may not be a household
name right now, but she soon will be. She has already gained
strong attention as the sarcastic, deadpan and very quirky assistant,
Miranda, in Mysterious Ways, opposite Adrian
Pasdar.
Alisen has always had a
love of acting, which began in her childhood, when she would
perform skits in front of her family's collection of pets. Once
she finished high school, she went on to study at the American
Academy of Dramatic Arts in California and then moved to England
to continue her studies at the British American Dramatic Academy
in Oxford.
Alisen brings a mystery
to her work, which constantly invites you to keep watching her.
She displays great strength, and presence, and depth.
Alisen's intelligence in
the role of "Miranda" was what first caught my attention.
Her comic timing was the next thing I noticed, then her ability
to be vulnerable on screen. She is beautiful to watch, not least
of which is due to her brilliant acting talent.
