Alycia Jasmin Debnam-Carey, born July 20, 1993, is straight out of Sydney, Australia, and she’s been doing her thing on screen since she was eight. She’s not just some random actress either—she actually graduated from the Newtown High School of the Performing Arts in 2011 (and, fun fact, she’s got some percussion chops). Back in 2010, she even hung out with the Berlin Philharmonic and a bunch of other musicians, working together to create a piece in just two weeks. And yeah, she crushed her HSC exams—top bands in six courses, and the Premier’s award for scoring 90s across the board. No big deal. Her first big gig was in Martha’s New Coat (2003), and she’s popped up in Aussie shows like Dance Academy and McLeod’s Daughters. Hollywood started calling when she was 18—she went over to the U.S. and got featured in Next Stop Hollywood, a reality docuseries tracking Aussie actors during pilot season. Her mom, Leone Carey (who writes for TV), tagged along for the ride. Alycia’s film credits started stacking up: Into the Storm, a lead in Where the Devil Hides, and some unaired stuff like AMC’s Galyntine. She really hit the fandom jackpot playing Commander Lexa on The 100, and then snagged a lead as Alicia in Fear the Walking Dead, the official prequel series to The Walking Dead. She’s pretty much become a regular face for anyone into TV dramas and genre shows.
Born and raised in sunny Sydney, she’s not just another face in the crowd—she spent her school years banging out rhythms on timpani and marimba at Newtown High School of the Performing Arts. Yeah, that's right, she’s got a legit background in classical percussion, which isn’t exactly the most common high school experience. While most kids were sweating through algebra, she was fine-tuning her skills with sticks and mallets, probably making a lot of noise and loving every second. That kind of training—it sticks with you, you know? It shapes how you see the world, how you approach everything, not just music. There’s a discipline to it, a sort of precision that bleeds into everything else. She didn’t just learn notes—she learned timing, teamwork, and how to handle pressure when the spotlight’s burning hot. All that, tucked away in the halls of a performing arts school in Sydney, set her up for everything that came next.
