Known for: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, American Pie and How I Met Your Mother.
Jews and Irishmen may not appear at first glance to be natural allies, but then again, the Irish capital city has boasted both Leopold Bloom and two Jewish mayors. And the Irish-Jewish twain met to even greater effect in Alyson Hannigan. Hannigan's last name might lead you to believe that that this fiery red-head would prefer corned beef and cabbage to corned beef on rye but you'd be as wrong as a rabbi eating a loaf of bread on Passover. Hannigan is a certified MOT (Member of the Tribe) both in real life and at least once on TV. On Buffy the Vampire Slayer Hannigan played Jewess Willow Rosenberg and evolved from a nebbishy bookworm to a sexy witch who dabbled in lesbianism. Or a sexy lesbian who dabbled in witchcraft. Both are hot. Though we probably first fell for her when she shoved a trumpet up poor (or fortunate?) Jim's ass in American Pie 2.  Every guy likes a girl with initiative in the bedroom. These days Hannigan is tickling our funnybone with her roll as the semi-clueless Lily Aldrin on How I Met Your Mother.
