The two wayward souls connect in unexpected ways, both of them harboring secrets that they’re desperately trying to overcome. In the midst of his rigorous preparation, he meets Daisy (Alexandra Shipp), the new girl in town who’s trying to start over. This March, he stars in the must-see drama, Space Oddity.ĭirected by Kyra Sedgwick, Space Oddity tells the story of a young man named Alex (Allen) who longs to travel to outer space and finally gets the opportunity to do so thanks to a privately-funded Mars colonization program. His ability to transform into a character and bring strength and vulnerability in his performances have landed him coveted roles in projects including The Map of Tiny Perfect Things, The In Between, West Side Story, The Greatest Beer Run Ever, and Rosaline. I'm gonna have to stop coming to class,’ and she’d be like, ‘No, you're good.Kyle Allen has quickly emerged as one of the industry’s most sought-after leading men. I would always come in and be like, ‘Hey, I'm fresh out. I think I owed her like upwards of $1,000 bucks before I booked anything. “Before I had ever really been able to do this as a living I had an acting teacher, Lauren Patrice Nadler. It was pretty epic.”Īllen also shared a story about an invaluable person in his life when he was first trying to get his acting career off the ground: “My buddy Branner, one of my best buddies, he was making his Broadway debut in New York City and I was flying in to see it with our other best friend and my flight got diverted because of the weather, so I ended up in Chicago and not New York, and I had like 12 hours until he was taking the stage so I rented a car and just drove through the morning/afternoon, and I got there before he got on stage.

Renaux spoke a bit about the value of Farrelly’s ability to juggle both: Yes, The Greatest Beer Run Ever is a wild ride, but it’s also a story that demands a balance between the fun and sincere respect for the fact that it is a life-or-death situation. It was just wild, so it's a really cool experience for me.” I was literally in middle school playing a character that he originated and now we're doing a film together. No, but I told Zac that when I got on set and he got a little emotional because it was like some full circle weird thing. “One of the first roles I ever played in middle school on stage was Troy Bolton in High School Musical 2 and some say I might have done it even better than Zac. Ropp jumped in to share a personal connection to Efron’s work. One by one, Allen, Renaux, Picking, and Ropp’s characters all have encounters with Chickie in the movie, so I opted to ask the group about their experience collaborating with Efron.
