Critical Praise

“In comedy, has a very effective droll delivery. Very believable. As a romantic lead, has a gentleness that comes across, with a masculine bearing that is very appealing.”
-Maxine Whittaker

“For some reason he’s so watchable… I sat there and watched the single five-minute shot of him on the phone and never once took my eyes off the screen.”
-Nick Warwick

“Both make their rapid-fire lines zing with maximum effect, and Marsh pratfalls impressively throughout the tortured plot twists.”
-Larry Collins

“…knows more about all of the local film projects than anyone else I know, and I generally mark the quality of a project by Allen’s level of involvement in it.”
-Darrell Claunch

“The hardest working man in showbiz.”
-Aaron Pong

“An absolute pleasure work with. His positive outlook is refreshing and an inspiration for us all to keep going.”
-Vincent Rouse

“He’s in everything. He’s like the John C. Reilly of Springfield, Missouri.”
-Chris Leavy

“An actor like Allen who put so much aside to just be there, and be on time. Giving us his all when you know he has a family he dearly would love to be with.”
-Theresa Friedrick

“…brings maturity, sincerity, and warmth, along with a broad range of experience, to improve any project he becomes a part of. His smiling face brightens any set and makes him a welcome member of any cast.”
-Anita Roberts

“Probably the easiest to direct I’ve ever worked with… good for editing, too, because of how consistent he is… I definitely am a big fan.”
-Ryan Tharp

“Flabbergasted that he is such a nice guy.”
-Will Hoover

“Extremely prepared, professional and collaborative. …put a lot of thought into his character and definitely enhanced the project by contributing through his craft. There are a lot of people who get into acting for the wrong reasons. Allen is not one of those people.”
-Darin Raney

“I’m generally more critical of ‘new’ actors, as praise can lead to a false sense of accomplishment, but in his case I really do want to express how impressed I am with his work. He has a natural ability which he can fine tune into a genuine catalog of characters. His reel is actually better than some well-known actors I know, in the respect that he has a wonderful variety of characters with which to exhibit his skill.”
-Trevor Chowning

“One helluva talented guy.”
-Ed Moore
