“If you are looking for a versatile actor with a fantastic look to work with, I highly recommend David. He nailed a 5 page walk and talk monologue in very stressful conditions and delivered a great performance take after take. It's obvious to me that he is passionate about his craft and I can't wait to film with him again.”
INDUSTRY NOTES ON DAVID:
Lisa Zambetti Head Casting Director Criminal Minds... has called David in three times for Criminal Minds.
Suggested that David's type was in playing the mentor characters such a Professor, Father, Doctor, Lawyer, Priest, Friend, Husband, Executive, Scientist, Politician and detective."
Kerry Marlowe (Kerry Finlayson) Director & Producer
Producer “Abruptio”….http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2215173/
"Working with David Alen is always such a treat. He brings an energetic and professional persona to the set which is why we keep bringing him back to work with us. Our first project together was "Blood Rush", where he played the key figure among the townsfolk scared of a virus/zombie outbreak. Naturally when we started production on "Abruptio" we knew David as the right choice to voice one of our supporting characters."
Deryn Warren… Director, Producer & Author, accomplished acting coach who was the assistant to Michael Shurtleff his last 9 years.
“David is a powerful honest actor who brings a wealth of subtext and vulnerability to his characters in grounded performance and is very easy to work with.”
HEADSHOTS
A Harrison Ford type.. A successful old school conservative Lawyer with his own firm. Tries to groom his 20's something granddaughter to take over for him when he becomes a professor in 5 years but can't understand why she doesn't see things his way.
HARRY HORTON late 60's, FBI Agent, playing chess with himself in a park. A bit grumpy to have his day off interrupted but immediately takes charge when he learns an important government device has been stolen. A role Sam Shepard could be cast in.
BOB GENTRY the protector, in his mid- sixties, retired military, is very pleased to have his estranged daughter spend the holiday with him. However he has issues with pageants, and isn't excited his granddaughter is going to compete in one.
ERIC PAYNE a Tim Allen type Character. grandfather who believes he can do anything weather practical or far fetched. We call him a lovable loser. A dreamer who seems to go about trying to get everything the wrong way, thus never getting the perfect anything.
BEN ADAM late sixties, retired Sheriff a Robert Forster type, true to his Texas roots, stalwart in his love of God, Country and his horses. . A man who has seen it all. The voice of wisdom, not afraid to dole out tough love where it is needed! No one gets their point across like Ben.
JUDGE HENRY late 60's. Old time down to earth country judge with twenty some years on the bench. He's stern, pragmatic and fair but makes his point clear his own way. When judge Henry speaks everyone listens. Kinda like a Bill Murray character.

The opportunity to gain power and money is there for any man with enough ambition and nerve and Joe Coughlin, the son of the Boston Police Superintendent, long ago turned his back on his strict upbringing for the spoils of being an outlaw. But even among criminals there are rules and Joe breaks a big one: crossing a powerful mob boss by stealing his money and his moll. The fiery affair ends in tragedy, setting Joe on a path of revenge, ambition, romance and betrayal that propels him out of Boston and up the ladder of Tampa’s steamy rum-running underworld.”
