Here we are with Alyssa Heyer, actress, writer, and director. In middle school, her best friend really wanted to audition for the school play, but she didn't want to do it alone, so she dragged her into the audition with her. She ended up being cast as a kid who got to spray mace and she absolutely fell in love with theatre from there.
In high school, Alyssa continued to perform in plays and competitions ranging from state to internationals and was so blessed to be accepted into the University of Southern California's School of Dramatic Arts in 2019.
Growing up in Missouri, there's wasn't much opportunity for on-screen acting, so when she got to LA, she focused primarily on the business and art of film and television. Alyssa fell in love with everything about the process and have now dabbled in directing, screenwriting, casting, and producing, as well as maintaining my main passion of acting.
Alyssa would like to give a shoutout to Brandon Whipple and Some Dude Productions. She's been working with Brandon for 5 years and not only did he take a chance on her as an actor, but he's helped her grow so much as a person and artist.
