Vikings from Australia

USPA NEWS - living out of a suitcase between Hollywood, Perth and Sydney can be pretty daunting for most people but second nature to a seasoned actor who will always call Australia 'Home' , Ryan Graeme Allen is focused on making his mark as the next Viking.

You can see Allen rocking audiences in “˜Down by the River´ directed by the Iconic and very renowned Aaron Moss to acting beside the great Kathryn Hann in “˜Flower´ and every now and then in reality TV shows like “˜Love and Hip Hop Hollywood.“ Ryan Allen began his acting career in 2009 at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts made famous by graduates such as “˜Hugh Jackman, Lucy Durack and Tim Minchin to name a few. Over the following years Allen broadened his acting skills through the Film and television Institute of Australia and other schools in Los Angeles . Allen is a sought after actor because of his “˜Jacky Chan´ lightning reflexes achieving his “˜Blackbelt´ in “˜freestyle Taikwondo. “ Competing in several tournaments and winning medals gave me the confidence and discipline to be selective in my acting career choices where action movie rolls now keep opening up for me“, said Allen.

I asked Allan what brings him to the Western Australia? “As writer and director of “˜Featherfoot´ a diverting story about a great Australian Mythological creator told through Aborigional tales I promise you something amazing , spellbinding and very very poignant to the indigenous people of Australia before heading back to the Glitz and Glamour of Tinseltown where Hollywood will see me take on his roll as a Viking named “˜AXE´, which will be filmed in the ancient “˜Redwood´ forests of Northern California .“ Allen also finds himself in the saddle, honing his horsemanship skills where he trains relentlessly with his fiancé and the “Riata Ranch Cowboy Girls“ Hollywoods professional trick riding group who performs under the professional Rodeo Cowboys Association in all fifty states of America where they often perform for the Queen.

Allen also is also known for his part as 'Shadow' in Locked (2016), Ryan Graeme in Star Child (2016) and as a junior thug in Happy Hour (2016). So what does the future hold for the amazing Ryan Allen? “ I have my heart set on casting for the next “˜ Game of Thrones´ series or the next season of “˜Vikings´ where I hope to become yet another Australian actor working alongside Travis Fimmel who grabbed the hearts of audiences around the world playing his lead role as Ragnar Lothbrok“, said Allen. “” Floki the immortal Viking once said, "When Balder, Odin´s beloved son died, not only did people weep. But fire wept. And iron, and all the other metals wept. The stones wept. Earth wept. Farewell, voyager. Farewell, my heart. Farewell“¦ for now."
