Carreira
Alison Pill decidiu que queria ser atriz aos 10 anos. Seus pais, então, a colocaram no Coro infantil de Toronto, onde ela logo se destacou como narradora das performances do grupo, o que lhe garantiu seu primeiro trabalho: gravar audiolivro para crianças. Depois de um tempo conseguiu um agente, que a levou para Nova York, onde buscou papéis no teatro. O que conseguiu, angariando inclusive uma indicação ao Tony Awards por sua atuação em The Lieutenant of Inishmore. A partir de então, aceitou trabalhar na televisão em seriados, até que entrou para o cinema. Nos dois ramos, Pill conseguiu ficar marcada em ao menos uma produção: The Newsroom (2012-2014), na TV, e Scott Pilgrim Contra o Mundo (2010), nas telonas. Além disso, já trabalhou duas vezes com Woody Allen, e participou recentemente da série The Family (2016) da ABC, e dos filmes Cooties (2015), Goon: Last of the Enforcers (2016), e Zoom (2016), longa coproduzido entre Brasil e Canadá.
Vida Pessoal
Ficou noiva do também ator Jay Baruchel em dezembro de 2010 depois do filme Goon, O casal tinha planos para se casar em setembro de 2012, em Quebec, porém os dois terminaram o relacionamento em 2013 por conta da distância. Em maio de 2015, casa com o também ator Joshua Leonard em Los Angeles quatro meses depois de anunciar seu noivado.
