Alison Haislip is an actress and TV correspondent who starred in the Hulu original series Battleground. She has previously appeared as a correspondent on G4’s Attack of the Show, covering pop culture and technology news.
Q&A:
Which 20th century decade best fits your personality and why?
The 90s. Cause I’m a stretch pants/hyper-colored/boy-band kind of gal.
Would you rather stop time, go back in time or look into the future?
The future. I want to see humans living on other planets and hover-boards.
Tell us one movie or TV show that you could watch time and time again and why?
‘Clue’. There are multiple endings!
If you were to bury a time capsule to be open in 100 years, what three things would you put in it to represent your life?
My Xbox, my “Lord of the Rings” collection, and a gift card to Pinkberry.
What is your favorite way to travel and why?
By car with all the windows rolled down. I love wind in my hair.
Which British actor or actress would you most want to be stuck on a desert island with?
David Tennant…for obvious reasons. Andrew Garfield would be a close second.
What’s your favorite destination in the world and why?
Australia. It’s the perfect combination of beaches, boys and beer.
What’s one destination in the world you would never want to go to and why?
That giant garbage island in the middle of the Pacific…again, for obvious reasons.
What’s one surprising thing you always travel with?
Lip balm. I’m weirdly neurotic about having lip balm with me when I’m not at home.
What’s your favorite British saying, and why?
“Completely mental” – but that may be because I’ve heard it used so many times in my presence…in reference to me.
Which big-time British singer is your favorite: Adele, Leona Lewis or Amy Winehouse
Adele. Her voice makes me feel like I’m wrapped in a cocoon of love and sprinkles.
Who your favorite female sci-fi character and why?
Sarah Connor. She constantly saved humanity in the most badass of ways. Plus, she got nekky-time with Michael Biehn.
Which English book character would you invite to a dinner party: Jane Eyre, Hermione Granger or Bridget Jones?
Hermione Granger…she’s a WIZARD for crying out loud!!
If you could be the companion/sidekick of any female hero, who would you pick and why?
River Song. We could have our own kick-ass girl adventures and STILL get to hang out with the Doctor every so often.
The Siren, using reflective surfaces as portals, was able to board the 17th-century pirate ship. She identified the ill and the injured and took skin samples from them.
Gangers were developed to work in environments too dangerous for people. Controlled remotely by a human operator they soon saved lives and money and most believed a Ganger was simply a tool, little more than a fork-lift truck.
Chloe hosts a cosplay-centric show on the Nerdist Network called ‘Just Cos,’ works as a freelance game journalist for a number of websites, and models.
River Song had Grayle worked out from the word go. Called him a ‘crime boss with a collecting fetish’. He was a tough guy, sure, but when he kidnapped River he didn’t figure he was starting to collect trouble. A lot of trouble.
