TODD ALLEN isn’t just your usual Hollywood jack-of-all-trades—he’s actually the kind of guy who jumps headfirst into just about everything. Actor, writer, producer, and now, finally, stepping up to direct his first feature, SIX MILE CREEK. This film? It’s not your average war vet story. It digs deep into PTSD and the messy, raw power of love to yank someone out of the dark. Allen wrote it himself, so yeah, he’s got skin in the game. He’s not just hustling in film, either. The man’s built three companies—from Virtuosity Media (which cranks out movies and TV that try to unite people, not split them apart), to an alternative energy startup that’s honestly got some wild, world-changing potential, to a nonprofit project fighting like hell to end veteran homelessness and suicide. The guy barely sits still. Acting-wise, Allen’s got almost 70 screen credits. He’s been in the trenches with Kevin Costner five times now, including the recent Horizon: An American Saga series, and even more lined up. Dude’s worked with legends like Robert Duvall, too—remember The Apostle or Broken Trail? Critics loved him as Marshal Bill Miller. Virtuosity Media’s future slate is stacked: 14 features, 11 TV projects, plus docs and a couple of edgy TV experiments on the way. He’s exec producing Sarita, set on the Texas-Mexico border in the Prohibition era, and there’s a UFC series and a spaghetti western reboot brewing, too. Home base? Split between LA and Austin, with his wife and youngest, Shelby, who’s just starting at UT as part of a ten-generation Allen tradition. Hustle runs in the family.
Not your average “rescuer next door” situation—this one’s wild. So, there’s this guy, right? Just going about his day, when suddenly he hears shouting and sees smoke pouring out from an apartment window. No time to think, just pure adrenaline—he smashes through the door (probably bruised his shoulder for weeks, but who’s counting), and the whole place is just chaos: flames, choking smoke, zero visibility. He doesn’t bolt. Instead, he fumbles around, coughing like a maniac, until he finds someone sprawled out cold on the floor. Not exactly light as a feather, either. He hauls them up, drags them out—literally pulling them to safety as fire crews show up and everything’s going nuts outside. People probably thought he was out of his mind, but hey, not all heroes wear capes, right? That moment? Straight up movie-worthy. You can’t make this kind of stuff up.
reference nI’ve flown jets, zipped across the water in speedboats, drawn my gun faster than most folks can blink, torn through rivers on horseback like a maniac, shot the villain, played the villain, patched up people in surgery, acted like a total lunatic, and, yeah, I’ve charmed more than my fair share of wild women. You wanna talk about variety? That’s just a Tuesday for me. I’ve lived a hundred lives, seen the world through a thousand different eyes, and honestly, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Being an actor’s this wild, unpredictable ride—one moment you’re saving the day, next you’re the guy everyone loves to hate. You get to be the hero and the villain, the heartbreaker and the broken. Not many jobs let you taste that kind of freedom. It’s messy, weird, and occasionally feels like you’re losing your mind, but damn, it’s fun.
