The Los Angeles, California born actress, reality show host, director and author, Alison Sweeney is well known for her portrayal of Samantha “Sami” Brady on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives. She has played the role since January 6, 1993, under contract with the show.

Alison Sweeney Acting Career

Sweeney studied Economics at UCLA but left due to her commitment to Days of Our Lives. Sweeney’s television debut was at age five in a Kodak advertisement. A few years later, Sweeney was in the episode “I Can’t Help Saying Goodbye” of the horror series Tales from the Darkside, playing a young girl who could sense when others were going to die shortly before their deaths.

She appeared on the 1988 short-lived ABC sitcom Family Man and the following year, was cast on Brand New Life as Christy McCray, a miniseries from future X-Files creator Chris Carter that aired within NBC’s Magical World of Disney in October 1989. The miniseries, which co-starred Barbara Eden as Sweeney’s mother and Don Murray as Sweeney’s new stepfather, was considered for pick-up as a stand-alone series beyond its Disney tryout, but the regular series never materialized.

Sweeney appeared in July 2013, in Second Chances, a Hallmark Original Movie, alongside Days co-star Greg Vaughan. The movie was filmed before Sweeney and Vaughn became siblings on Days of Our Lives. It was announced on July 9, 2014, that Sweeney would be joining General Hospital behind the scenes as a director, starting later that month. Sweeney announced on April 26, 2015, that she will be returning to Days of Our Lives to be part of the show’s 50th-anniversary celebrations. From 2015 to 2017, she has appeared in the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries film series Murder, She Baked, based on Joanne Fluke’s books.

Alison Sweeney The Biggest Loser

It was announced on August 25, 2015, that Sweeney would not be returning to The Biggest Loser. Beginning on October 13, 2017, she will reprise her long-term role as Sami Brady on Days of Our Lives, over 24 years after her first appearance as a teenaged Sami Brady.

Alison took over hosting duties in 2007, on The Biggest Loser, replacing Caroline Rhea since the fourth season. Sweeney was surprised but happy to be offered the role, where she is able to cheer on contestants and share their victories.

Fear Factor

Sweeney appeared in 2002, on a celebrity episode of the NBC reality game show Fear Factor. Sweeney has appeared in other NBC shows such as Friends, where she played an actress on Days of Our Lives and Las Vegas. She joined the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon in 2007, as a co-host for the live television broadcast. Sweeney returned to her co-hosting duties for the 2008, 2009, and 2010 telethons.

Sweeney documented all the tabloid talk and personal anguish in her 2004 memoir, All The Days of My Life (So Far).

Sweeney announced on January 20, 2014, on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that after 21 years of being on the air on Days of Our Lives, she will be leaving the show, to focus on spending more time with her family, as well as more time to work on her other show, The Biggest Loser.
