Tyler Allison

Tyler Allison’s name pops up in a few places that movie fans might not even realize at first. He’s one of those “blink and you’ll miss him” folks, but if you know where to look, you’ll catch him in some wild spots. Game Night, that 2018 comedy that just keeps getting better every time you rewatch it—yeah, he’s in the mix. The movie’s all about a group of friends whose regular game night spins completely out of control, turning into a real-life mystery with more twists than a bag of pretzels. Tyler’s part might not be front and center, but it’s one of those supporting roles that make the ensemble feel real, not just a bunch of cardboard cutouts. Wind the clock back a bit and you land in that bonkers world of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003). Honestly, that movie’s a fever dream mashup of literary legends—Dorian Gray, Captain Nemo, even Tom Sawyer for some reason. Tyler’s in the thick of it, running around in this steampunk universe where nothing makes sense but somehow it all works if you just go with it. It’s goofy, it’s messy, but it’s fun in a late-night popcorn kind of way. And don’t forget Mission: Impossible III (2006). That’s the one where Tom Cruise is running like his life depends on it (because it kind of does), jumping off buildings, gadgets everywhere, the whole nine yards. Tyler pops up here too, another cog in the spy machine. Not a household name, but he’s part of the fabric that holds these wild stories together, always popping up where you least expect him.
