About Allan
My mission is to contribute as many varied images as possible of African-American men in TV and film that fall outside of the traditional stereotypes attributed to us.
I'm interested in the stories of the "in-between". Not the constantly struggling thug type forced into criminality; nor the super-rich, superhumanly athletic mogul who basically has the world in his hands; but the wide swath of stories that exist in between those extremes for African-American men.
Romantic comedies, legal thrillers, family dramas, fantasy epics and so on. As varied as media is, for us the surface has barely been scratched.
Growing up in Port Arthur, TX (100 miles east of Houston), I was constantly drawn to characters and story, not realizing until after graduating college that acting is where my heart and talent lies.
FILM WORK includes No Ordinary Love, Low Key
TV WORK includes Breakers (Amazon), The Black Cobra (In Production)
