Alissa Dean is an NYU graduate with a Bachelor of Music and Performing
Arts. As a child, she caught the acting bug early and
went on to work in commercials, voiceover and regional theatre. Alissa says she truly found her voice as an actor through her studies with acting luminary Fred Karemen in NYC.
When she began getting flown to L.A. to test for TV shows, Alissa felt
it was time to make the leap to the west coast. Since moving to Los
Angeles, she has been fortunate enough to work with some of her
favorite directors and actors through the years and enjoys balancing
her acting with her other passion, screenwriting.
As a writer, Alissa is an Academy Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting
semi-finalist for her first screenplay, the indie comedy "Cricket",
which placed in the top 1 % of all entries.
Alissa's play "Survivors" will have its Los Angeles premiere in January
2014.
