Alicia is an Australian actress living in Los Angeles, California.

Alicia was bitten by the acting bug at the age of eight and has never looked back! Alicia has performed on many of Adelaide’s stages, to the acclaim of audiences and critics alike. Highlights in her career so far include the title role of Sylvia the dog, in A.R Gurney’s ‘Sylvia’ with Blackwood Players, her Adelaide Fringe Festival Debut in 2006 in Carnival Night Shakespeare’s Commedia Dell’Arte cabaret romp “The Servant of Two Masters, Montparnasse 1919″, and the challenging role of blind heroine Suzy Henderson in Stirling Players’ winter thriller “Wait Until Dark”.

Alicia has also appeared on the international television hit series, ‘Mcleod’s Daughters’, as well as feature films ‘Travelling Light’ and ‘The Boys Are Back’, and numerous short films and television commercials. Alicia’s career has seen her do everything from voiceovers to suit character performances!

Alicia enjoys spending her relaxation time in her home town with family and friends in the Adelaide Hills. Her pride and joy are her RSPCA rescued dogs and cat. Alicia is planning to travel extensively and hopes to one day finish at least one of the novels she is writing! Oh, and she doesn’t mind a good drop of South Aussie wine…. Alicia credits her passion for the arts to her grandparents and hopes to one day produce local film and theatre.

Praise for Alicia’s work:

“But the highlight of the production is Alicia Hovell’s beautiful, graceful and professional performance in her double role as a wily Italian maidservant and a hard-bitten Paris tart.”
Kerryn Goldsworthy – Guardian Messenger

“Alicia Hovell looks suitably sweet and vulnerable as the beseiged Bella…”
Matt Byrne – Guardian Messenger

” …her teenage daughter Isabinda, played sweetly but obstinately by Alicia Hovell”
Laraine Ball – Portside Messenger

“Alicia Hovell has taken anthropomorphism to a new level in her role as Sylvia and I certainly felt like scratching Sylvia behind her ears. Most importantly she made me accept the device of a human playing a dog fully from the very outset and it was only natural that she should talk sensibly with her owners.”
Myk Mykyta – Radio Adelaide

“Alicia Hovell delights the audience with her doggy antics, immersing herself totally in her part.”
Laraine Ball – Southern Times Messenger

“…but the only one that reflected the spirit of the play for me was Alicia Hovell in the minor role of Valmont’s occasional sex partner Emilie.”
Myk Mykyta – Radio Adelaide

“Alicia Hovel (sic) as the blind heroine Susy Henderson is a delight. She’s convincing and empathetic while being strong. It’s a refreshing change to see a commanding female character who manages to be that without giving up any of her femininity.”
Maggie Moore – Adelaide Theatre Guide
