Alison Bacon

A strong motorcycle rider and advanced yogi, fluent Italian and Spanish and an Italy/EU and US citizen, athletic, driven, passionate, Alison studied Meisner with Steven Chester Prince and took an on-camera class with Marco Perella in Austin in addition to working on Grindhouse at Troublemaker Studios with director Robert Rodriguez and some amazing experiences on independent films in really fun roles. She then moved to NYC where she attended the T Schreiber Studio (Ed Norton's teacher) while working on the documentary Valentino: The Last Emperor (Valentino: L'Ultimo Imperatore) directed by Matt Tyrnauer. Having been so inspired by the documentary 'A Special Thanks to Roy London' which Alison had first seen at the Austin Film Festival, she researched to see whether Roy had a protégé and found Ivana Chubbuck Studios. During her studies Alison worked very extensively as a high level assistant, nanny and estate manager with celebrity and high profile families in Los Angeles and Austin. As the oldest of 6 she has always had a very natural connection to children and loves caring for and nurturing them, was a teacher and translator for a few years in Italy and considered staying in the teaching and childcare profession but then felt called to fully pursue a career in the arts, entertainment and wellness after years of other amazing work and studies. Her love of what the Matrix did to start to create the potential to blow open her view of reality which happened over many years to follow after seeing the film in Italian in Italy and not understanding it right away, her initial impulse to write a screenplay somewhat inspired by her experiences transformed into a much bigger picture sci-fi/fantasy about changing the world. In the last 6 years Alison has appeared on well over a hundred major studio films and network television shows such as David Duchovny's Aquarius, Wicked City, CSI Cyber, NCIS: Los Angeles featured as a homeless woman who reminds Daniela Ruah's character of her own experience when she had lived on the streets (directed by James Hanlon), a bunch of Nickelodeon shows, Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer's The Lonely Island, Scouts vs Zombies, Ted 2, a featured EDM dancer on Wild For The Night, 1915, Jem and the Holograms, Len Wiseman's Lucifer, the finale of Cougar Town directed by Courteney Cox, a special scene with one other child actor in Episode 2 of Hand of God directed by Marc Forster, Transparent in an unforgettably amazing scene in which creator/writer/director/executive producer Jill Soloway plays gender studies class professor Celeste (effing brilliant), the pilot episode of Supergirl with Glen Winter, the pilot episode of Code Black, several episodes of Scorpion, The Comeback and two episodes of Two Broke Girls with Michael Patrick King, one of which in a legendary deleted musical number scene in a jail cell and another of which as one of a group of rowdy arm wrestling gang directed by Fred Savage, Workaholics, The Comedians with Billy Crystal and Josh Gad, directed by Larry Charles, The League, Mulaney, Weird Loners, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Kingdom, The Mindy Project, several MTV shows, The Duplass brothers' Togetherness, Judd Apatow's Love, Blunt Talk, at least 8 episodes over 4 seasons of Shameless, Angie Tribeca, Crazy Ex Girlfriend, Roadies, almost every episode of Animal Kingdom Season 2, The Orville, Goliath, How To Get Away With Murder, The Muppets, Twin Peaks, Modern Family, Straight Outta Compton, Jem and the Holograms, briefly meeting Kimberley Peirce on Stop Loss, working on 2 episodes of Transparent and multiple shoot days on I Love Dick under the direction of Jill Soloway, the pilot for Matador with director Robert Rodriguez again, 1915, The Clapper, All Star Weekend directed by Jamie Foxx, Pop Star Never Stop Never Stopping directed by Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, Black-ish, Making A Scene with James Franco directed by him, and so many more.
