I saw that Alyssa had done lots and lots of commercials. Which one was her favorite?
Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments.
Alyssa is a very friendly little girl. Alyssa just started up a conversation with her. Miley was really nice and chatted back.
Yes, I was with her when she met Miley.
I think that her favorite commercial was Almay. Elaine Irwin (John Mellancamp's wife) was such a sweetheart. She really made us all feel welcome and it was tons of fun for Alyssa. Most of the commercials that Alyssa has done are wonderful experiences.
People that work with kids in this industry tend to be so nice to them.

Questions from Caroline:
Does she answer her own fan mail yet?
What is one of her favorite memories (or yours) from acting?
Caroline,
Hi! No Alyssa does not answer her own fan mail. We like to keep her out of that aspect of acting. We try to tell her that she is no different than any other kid. Acting is just a hobby like ballet and gymnastics. Some kids really let the acting world get to their head and we don't want that to happen with Alyssa. We try to keep her real grounded in her views. If you have any questions then you can feel free to ask me and I will try to answer them as well as I can. Some questions I ask Alyssa and I just don't let her know why I want to know. This way it makes the fans happy and keeps her from knowing about it.
One of her favorite memories of acting is working on The Unit. She loves Scott Foley, Dennis Haysbert, Audrey Marie Anderson and Regina Taylor. The whole cast and crew were so nice to her and it made it such a great experience for her. It really helps when you have such wonderful people to work with.
If you have any more questions then please feel free to ask.
Alyssa's Mom
Questions from Sarah:
What does Alyssa want to be when she grows up?
Does Alyssa do anything to prepare before she auditions for a role?
For Sarah
Alyssa wants to be a Director and an actor. Also she says that she wants to be a mommy just like me!
Alyssa practices her lines until she feels like she really has them before she goes out for any roles. It is really hard to learn all the lines but she is a natural. She had to learn 9 pages of dialogue for Daddy Daycare and she was only three when she auditioned. Until she learned how to read (at barely four) she had to memorize all of her lines. I would read them to her and she just got them right away.
Questions from Susanna:
How was Alyssa's experience at her first premiere? Did she enjoy dressing up and having her picture taken?
How was it for Alyssa to work with such a comedy star as Eddie Murphy?
For Susana
Alyssa loved her first premiere. It was very exciting for her to dress up and go down that red carpet.
Alyssa loved Eddie Murphy. He was really nice with all of the kids. He has kids himself so he really knows how to work with them. All of the kids loved him
Questions from Lauren:
What was it like for Alyssa to work with Reese Witherspoon?
What is Alyssa's favorite movie?
For Lauren
Reese was a sweetheart. She was great with the kids and on her break she even put time aside to interact with them.
Alyssa doesn't really have a favorite movie. She loves all normal little kid movies like Monster's Inc and other disney and pixar classics. She really likes Shirley Temple too.
