Her feature film debut came in 1983 when she appeared in the movie 'Old Enough'. Wanting to get into television, because she hadn't done that before, she started auditioning for some TV pilots. She went in for the role of Samantha Micelli without having read any script for the show she would star on for so long, 'Who's the Boss?'. She got the part and in no time she was acting alongside veterans like Tony Danza, famous for his part on 'Taxi', and Katherine Helmond, famous for her part on 'Soap'. 'Who's The Boss?' got picked up by ABC Television Network and debuted on September 20th, 1984. Her father quit his job and moved to Los Angeles with Alyssa first, to be followed by her mom and brother after a few months. Her mother had a store that she closed to be there for Alyssa's career. After switching time slots a bit 'Who's the Boss?' became a huge hit. During the run of 'Who's the Boss?' Alyssa ventured out into the movie world, appearing in the classic Schwarzenegger movie 'Commando'.
