Since the late 2000s, Alison Brie has really made a name for herself in the acting world.
Shows like Community and Mad Men put her on the map, but she’s also had high-profile movie roles and starred in critically acclaimed Netflix originals. And more often than not, she’s delivered great performances regardless of whether she’s doing comedy, drama, or even voice acting work. She has been a part of so many great TV shows and movies that it makes it difficult to decide which is the best. Thankfully, IMDb’s user reviews can be used to get a consensus on what the actress’s greatest projects have been.

Alison Brie can be heard in the last episode of the first season. She voices a group of identical cheerleaders who want to help Axe Cop on his mission. Unfortunately, the Cop thinks all girls are dumb, so they quickly become adversaries.
