Who Is The Star In The Allstate 'Along For The Ride' Commercial?
By Daniel Kim
The driver towing her house in this commercial is Erin Alexis, an actress, comedian, and published writer, according to the bio on her website. And the Allstate ad isn't her only commercial credit. She also appears in a recent Hulu commercial, dropping a cactus "like a pro," according to her website.
After earning an MFA from Columbia University in New York City, Alexis moved to Los Angeles. If you follow the comedy scene there, you may have spotted her performing stand-up at clubs including The Hollywood Improv, The Comedy Store, The HaHa Comedy Club, and Flappers Comedy Club. She's had her fair share of guest roles on TV shows, appearing on "You're the Worst," "NCIS: Los Angeles," and "True Blood." Not only that, Alexis wrote, produced, and starred in the award-winning comedy pilot "Moderately Put Together," about a 30-something woman who learns her biological parents are looking for her.
Next up, she'll appear in an episode of HBO Max's "Station Eleven," a story of survivors rebuilding their lives after a flu pandemic. Sounds timely, and we can't wait to see Alexis' take on the tale.
