Born on July 29, 1982, Allison is an accomplished singer and dancer, but her primary focus is acting, whether it's in comedies like the TV series Opposite Sex or dramas such as the made-for-TV movie My Horrible Year!

Allison has been a professional actress most of her life -- her first gig was in a German chocolate commercial at the tender age of four. Her first feature film role came in 1989 in Police Academy 6: City Under Siege. By that time, she had already had one year of professional training in Los Angeles at the Young Actors Space. Since then, Allison has moved on to bigger and better things, appearing on both the big and small screens.

Her biggest role thus far is on the WB's Smallville, but she has also appeared in the movie Camp Nowhere and in Disney's feature video, Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves. She also played Richard Lewis' daughter on the ABC series Hiller and Diller. Allison spends most of the year in Vancouver, British Columbia, where Smallville is filmed.

She is close friends with costar Kristin Kreuk; the two actresses can be seen shopping together almost every weekend.
