While many people were introduced to her as the notorious "this one time, at band camp" girl in American Pie , she's mostly known for being one of the main cast in two highly popular television shows , Buffy The Vampire Slayer and How I Met Your Mother.
In Buffy , she played the role of Willow Rosenberg, a shy teenage computer geek who grows to become a confident witch with great powers and not always great responsibility. Because of just how long she was in the spotlight as part of two highly prominent television shows, it may be hard to re-sell Hannigan to moviegoers as a movie star rather than as someone who shines best on television.
Like many of her Buffy and American Pie castmates, Hannigan was packaged as something of a sex symbol during her initial rise to fame. But while she gamely posed for a handful of cheesecake photo spreads, that really wasn't an aspect of her personality she ever appeared all that enthusiastic about playing up in public—something that likely played into the way she overhauled her image after becoming a real-life mom. No one lounges in lingerie in front of the cameras forever, of course, but for fans who remember Hannigan for her geeky sex appeal in those early hits, her more grown-up image might be a bit of a tough sell.
While the characters she played on Buffy and How I Met Your Mother are quite different, they both serve as the amusing comic relief.
As Willow Rosenberg, Hannigan often offered wry commentary on everything from the state of Buffy's latest relationship to the gender norms that she and girlfriend Tara helped redefine. As Lily Aldrin, she eventually came to embody the humorous voice of a veteran spouse who could poke fun at the often too-serious Ted's quest to find the future mother of his children. Her most prominent Hollywood role in American Pie is also comedic.
But she hasn't played any popular serious roles. Most people have never seen whether she's capable of any range at all. While the How I Met Your Mother series finale was by no means a Dexter -level disaster, fans were left scratching their heads at the perplexing decision to make perpetual bachelor bro Barney get married to Robin, only to divorce three years later so she and Ted could finally, inevitably get together. Apparently, the confusion was shared by Alyson Hannigan, who said she wished they'd done a two-hour series finale, so they could have included many "vital" cut scenes which she thought were "all this stuff that I think the audience needed.
Of course, Hannigan also gushed about her experience with the show, saying she would "do it again in a heartbeat," and that it was "just pure, lovely fun. It's not a huge sign of foreboding when a TV pilot that an actor works on doesn't get picked up.
In fact, it happens every season; people just move on to the next project. But in the case of the sitcom More Time with Family , it was apparent that Hannigan really wanted it to happen. This time around, Hannigan was a bit more tempered in her public enthusiasm for the project. In an interview with the now defunct Wet Paint , she said, "I'm more excited about what would happen should the show continue for years.
Where they want to go, more so than the initial pilot, which is trying to respect where it came from with the movie. Her seemingly lackluster feelings about the pilot were apparently shared by TV Land, who passed on the show and instead moved forward with an adaptation of Heathers , effectively leaving Hannigan with two small one-off parts on TV shows and a single, forgettable indie film as credits since Which brings us to And in case you're thinking, "Huh?
The review in The L. Times fell under the headline " Do You Take This Man is not the gay wedding drama you've been waiting for," and the criticism of the film was summed up as "this sluggish talkfest feel like even more of a missed opportunity; something livelier and more compelling was in order.
Certainly not, but it doesn't really help her either. Another reason Hannigan is still associated with those old roles is because of the timeless quality of fandom. While Buffy the Vampire Slayer went off the air in , fans have kept the show alive with fan fiction and comic conventions throughout the world.
Both Hannigan and her husband are very popular stars on the sci-fi convention circuit, appearing at events such as the Phoenix Comicon to fans eager to get autographs and pictures with their favorite Buffy characters. They were with their 2-year-old daughter Satyana, and her loose-fitting shirt gave the impression that she was pregnant. Over the weekend, it sparked some pregnancy rumors. Alyson even uttered that, she certainly look pregnant in that shot. However, it appears that the media was eager to point a finger at her stomach.

She also made a guest appearance on Angel, a Buffy spin-off, in which she reprised her role as Willow for a few episodes. Alyson has been nominated for a number of awards.
