Alyson Gorske is an up-and-coming US actress and artist based out of Los Angeles, California. Versatile and striking, Alyson began to make a name for herself in the 2016 horror short The After Party and has gone from strength to strength since then. After a number of starring roles in shorts and TV shows in the late 2010s, Alyson has recently made the jump to the silver screen, starring opposite such big names as Bai Ling (The Crow), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight) and the legendary Fred Williamson (Black Caesar, From Dusk ‘Til Dawn).
Alyson currently has a number of movies in post-production – keep your eyes peeled for the horrors Let It Lie and All Of You Will Die!
The Career of Alyson Gorske So Far
Born in Atlanta, GA, Alyson spent time in Washington DC before relocating to Los Angeles at the age of 18 to pursue her acting dreams. There she attended the Stella Adler school, graduating in 2015. Following this, she was a student at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts until 2017. She is currently with the LA-located Echo Theater Company, which she joined in 2016.
She broke out in the 2016 horror short The After Party, a surreal spine-chiller in which an aspiring actress is invited to a Hollywood after-show party only to realize that something terribly sinister lurks just under the surface of the glitz and the glamor…
Following this breakout role, she starred in several more shorts and appeared on TV; it was in 2020, however, that she really distinguished herself by launching her burgeoning movie career.
After a supporting role in the independent movie Southern Decadence (2018), Alyson dazzled audiences with her impressive turn in the 2020 sci-fi action Battle Star Wars (2020). She thrills as the rebel daughter Astera Malaster, forced to turn against her despotic father when he resolves to destroy a planet for its resources.
Alyson has continued to distinguish herself as a promising action-movie star, appearing in Airliner Sky Battle (2020) as Selena, the Armageddon-esque Meteor Moon (2020) as X-Caliber, the jungle survival thriller Jungle Run and the action fantasy-horror Devil’s Triangle (2021).
Alyson is also an accomplished horror movie actress. She starred opposite Eric Roberts in 2020’s 616 Wilford Lane and has two more horror movies in post-production.
She is perhaps best noted for her versatility; she is equally at home portraying a physically capable badass or a frightened, psychologically vulnerable girl, and this is reflected in her eclectic filmography. Whether fighting Atlanteans 20,000 leagues under the sea, staring down a megalomaniacal father in a galaxy far, far away, or fleeing from incomprehensible forces in quaint backwater America, Alyson is never anything less than equal to the task.
Alyson Gorske Movies: Her 6 Best
Battle Star Wars (2020)
Many people might dismiss space operas as being cheesy or unrealistic, but that didn’t stop Alyson from giving it her all in this pulse-pounding 2020 sci-fi story in which her character is forced to turn against her own father in order to save a planet from certain destruction. Filled with colorful characters, explosive SFX battles, and a surprising amount of pathos, Battle Star Wars is easily one of Alyson’s best.
Airliner Sky Battle (2020)
Though a less substantial role than in Battle Star Wars, that doesn’t mean that Alyson brings anything less than her A-game in this action thriller about a jetliner hijacked by Russian terrorists looking to bring about a nuclear explosion on US soil. Alyson stars as the plucky Selena, one of the passengers stuck on board the doomed plane who must make a decision – die like a sheep, or fight like a lion…
Meteor Moon (2020)
Pulses pound in this heart-stopping homage to Armageddon, in which a stray meteor knocks the moon off-course and right into Earth’s path. Alyson plays X-Caliber, part of the team sent up into space and into the path of the oncoming moon in a bid to launch an anti-matter device and pull the moon back on course before it’s too late for everyone…
616 Wilford Lane (2021)
Alyson dials it back a little with a nuanced, taut performance in this atmospheric 2021 horror. After having relocated to peaceful small-town America, a grieving widower and his daughters (one of whom is Staci, played by Alyson Gorske) soon discover that things are not quite as they seem in this bucolic idyll. As things build to a terrifying crescendo, Staci must, along with her father and sister, fight for her very sanity.
Jungle Run (2021)
Back with another white-knuckle adventure movie – this time cutting a path through the dark heart of the Amazon – Alyson thrills as Amanda, one half of a sibling duo determined to find their researcher father, who has gone missing in the infamous rainforest. But as they come under increasing attack by the denizens of the forest, Amanda realizes that something much darker than random animal attacks is afoot…
Devil’sTriangle (2021)
A strong contender for Alyson Gorske’s most exciting and fantastical movie, Devil’s Triangle tells the story of a plane that crashes in the infamous, eponymous Bermuda Triangle in the Caribbean Sea. Alyson plays Sam Taylor, one of the passengers of the doomed plane, who must team up with the intrepid Pluto (played by Blaxploitation legend Fred Williamson) to escape the clutches of their captors, the watery denizens of the long-lost Atlantis!
