   Actress Alyson Hannigan: 'Still remember all the auditions I didn't get'   
      
   The American actress says she hasn't forgotten any of her struggles as they   
   make her appreciate her success more   
      
   Alyson Hannigan stepped in front of the camera at the age of four, and got   
   noticed with comedy American Pie — but it was as Lily Aldrin in the   
   long-running show How I Met Your Mother that she etched an everlasting   
   impression on the minds of viewers.   
      
   The American actress says she hasn't forgotten any of her struggles as they   
   make her appreciate her success more.   
      
   "I always wanted to be an actress … ever since I can remember. So (I) … did   
   commercials at an age of four in Atlanta in Georgia. It was a kind of   
   hobby … I was playing soccer and I was doing commercials. It was a   
   recreational activity as a kid," Hannigan told IANS over phone from Los   
   Angeles.   
      
   Looking back at the time she shifted to Hollywood, the actress said:   
   "Eventually, we moved to California, but again I mostly did commercials, a   
   movie here and there, but I wasn't ever successful as a kid … So, I have an   
   appreciation of the success that I have as an adult because I remember all   
   those auditions (where) I didn't get and the job I wanted."   
      
   After her stint as a child artiste in commercials, she went on to do   
   occasional acting jobs from 1985. The game changed when she joined the cast   
   of American Pie in 1999. She followed her act with Buffy the Vampire Slayer.   
      
   But her big ticket came with the show How I Met Your Mother, which ran from   
   2005 to 2014. The actress is married to actor Alexis Denisof, with whom she   
   shares two daughters.

   On the work front, Hannigan says she is busy with an "interesting project" —   
   but does not reveal details.
