- Alycia started acting when she was 8 in Rachel Ward’s award winning short feature “Martha’s New Coat”.
- From the inner-west of Sydney, Alycia has also appeared in “Dance Academy”, and “McLeod’s Daughters”.
- She was a finalist in the prestigious Heath Ledger Scholarship.
- She has never been to the US and is obviously incredibly excited about the opportunity of NEXT STOP HOLLYWOOD.
- “It’s definitely a happening place. I feel like there is a lot of life going on. People hear you’ve done one thing and that you’ve done a good job or you’re testing for something and then all of sudden everyone is interested.”
- Alycia will be traveling to LA with her mum Leone, who is a TV writer of kids shows such as “Hi-5” and “Giggle and Hoot”.
- “My mum is like the rock in the family. I am so happy she is coming with me.”
- One of the many obstacles to overcome is getting around in LA to auditions.
- “Mum really doesn’t want to drive around LA. We’re going to have to find a different solution because as a left handed dyslexic woman with absolutely no sense of direction, not only is it a bad idea for her but it’s probably a bad idea for everyone on the road at that point in time,” Alycia laughs.
- Actor: “Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett, and young actors like Jennifer Lawrence and Mia Wasikowska.”
- TV Shows: “United States of Tara”. Toni Collette, she’s fantastic. I love “Skins” too.”
- About LA: “The hype. The hype of LA and of Hollywood is quite remarkable. It’s something I didn’t expect and it’s something I wasn’t kind of prepared for. People hear you’ve done one thing and that you’ve done a good job or you’ve booked a role or you’re testing for something and everyone is interested, everyone knows, people are ringing your agent, your manager and like oh who’s this girl? What’s she doing? I want her in this… and suddenly, you’ll walk into a normal everyday casting and there will be eight people in the room rather than two.” “Oh, and also Madame Tussauds. My mum and I had an awesome time playing up with the wax figures. It was hilarious.”
