Notably, he has costarred with Kevin Costner in three films and with Robert Duvall in The Apostle and again in Broken Trail, where Allen received excellent reviews as Territorial Marshal Bill Miller.Always unpredictable in his choices, Allen's recent appearances showcase chameleon-like abilities and vary between the role of a Catholic Priest in the inspirational sports drama, "My All American" to a vicious plantation overseer in the blockbuster hit "Django Unchained".With the pending launch of his independent media and production company, Virtuosity, Allen has plans to film a number of exciting film and television projects in the next five years. Under the Virtuosity umbrella, among many others, is the gritty, film-noir styled Western, "The Deserters", the romantic thrill ride, "Suicide Grip" and "The Empty Quarter", a timely and cautionary tale set on a drilling installation in Saudi Arabia's most barren desert.

First up, he is set to travel to Italy and Spain to shoot an Italian-produced and directed spaghetti western in the same locales where Sergio Leone once filmed his epic productions.Previously Allen completed a starring role in the independent feature, Frontera (2010), playing a tough, driven Texas Ranger who brings down a drug cartel. He also has an extensive list of films and television appearances on his resume with appearances, among others, in the NBC/Bruckheimer series Chase (2010) and a recurring role on Friday Night Lights (2006).
