Alyssa was born on December 19th, 1972 in Brooklyn, New York. Alyssa has a younger brother Cory who has acted in some of Alyssa's movies (e.g. Double Dragon,1993). Alyssa made her professional acting debut at age eight in the role of July in the Tony-winning Broadway musical, "Annie". She spent over a year playing the role in the tour before returning to New York to appear off-Broadway in the first American musical adaptation, "Jane Eyre" at the theater Opera Music Institute, Wendy Wasserstein’s one-act Play, "Tender Offer" at the New York Ensemble Theater, "All Night Long" at the Second Stage and "Warning Signals" at the Manhattan Theater Club. Child actress and model Alyssa Milano rose to fan-magazine fame in the role of Samantha Micelli on the TV series Who's the Boss ? (1984-1992). During the run of this series, Milano made her TV-movie bow opposite no less than Sir John Gielgud in 1986's The Canterville Ghost. She has acted along such actors as John Candy, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Johnathan Silverman of TV's "The Single Guy", Will Smith, Sean Astin, and Christian Slater. Like many former child stars, Milano has done her utmost to break her earlier image by appearing in adult roles calling for heavy breathing and come-hither glances: perhaps her most spectacular appearance along these lines was in the role of the estimable Amy Fisher in the the 1992 TV movie Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story. According to those who keep tabs on such things, Milano has lined up roles in "three or four very adult movies". Her most recent movies were Fearwith Reece Witherspoon and Hugo Pool with Malcolm McDowell. This year Alyssa joined the cast of Fox TV's "Melrose Place" . Alyssa's debut on Melrose Place was on Monday April 14th on Fox at 8pm EST.
