Born in Atlanta, Georgia, and raised in Park City, Utah, Ally Ioannides started acting at a young age, doing stage productions in Salt Lake City. At 11 years old she got her first Equity role and continued on the stage, acting, dancing, and singing. At 14, Ioannides moved to California and soon landed the recurring role of troubled Dylan in the final season of NBC’s Parenthood. She quickly followed up with an emotional guest lead on Law & Order: SVU about the treatment of rape on college campuses, and another memorable guest-star role as a psychopathic murderer on CBS’s Elementary.
