Alisa Besher

Alisa Besher (born October 3, 1985) was a former ZOOMer from the show in seasons 1 and 2 of the revived version of ZOOM.

Early Career[]

During her auditions, she mentioned if she spoke to a person she didn't know, they would.
One day, while at recess, a kid yelled out "The Russians are coming!" and Alisa thought she had no idea she was Russian.

Description[]

I'm funny, outgoing, crazy, and a little disorganized. I reckon other ZOOMers would say I'm creative and silly. When I'm unavailable on the ZOOM set, I enjoy school and hanging out with friends. During the summer, I'm a Counselor in Training at a local camp where I get to work with lots of kids.

The silliest thing I've ever done on ZOOM is dressed up in crazy outfits for the plays! Zmail is my favorite part of this site. I check it out every week! The Butterfly Cake and Homemade Ice Cream are the most delicious ZOOM treats, and my favorite ZOOM sci is the Rube Goldberg Invention. The best things about working on ZOOM have been going to the Emmy's and relaxing in the ZOOM room during taping.

I do think that being a ZOOMer has changed me. I'm better around crowds of younger kids, and the experience helps me at camp. And I've met so many new people! I don't think that people treat me differently, at least my friends don't. But I guess more people know who I am now. I reckon in twenty years I'll look back on my ZOOM experience and think, "Those were a few of the best times of my life!"

And to all of the ZOOMers out there: Thanks SO much for watching! It has been a great experience.

In March 2003, she was a junior at NHS.
