Alison Daniels grew up in Baltimore, MD with her parents and three sisters, next door to a dairy farm and a graveyard. When she started studying at the University of Maryland, she considered College Park, MD to be a "big city." After graduating with honors in both Theatre and English, she stayed in the Washington, D.C. area to pursue work as a stage actress, eventually transitioning into film and TV work with roles on "VEEP" and "Forbidden." Alison now pursues film work full time in New York, which is actually a city.
