With his amazing flair for comedic performance (he set up numerous comedy troupes including the "court Jesters Improv Troupe" and the "Rubber Chicken Standup Improv Troupe"), Alan is probably best known as either the energetic and fiery haired Watt in "A Knight' s Tale" or the wonderful Wash in the equally firey "Firefly" which is currently being made into a feature film (wooohooo) called "Serenity" . Although these are probably his most widely known works, he has also become known for leading stage roles in off-beat productions and scene-stealing supporting turns in other films. He first made his mark with work on stage in both regional and Off-Broadway productions before marking his Broadway debut with 1999's "Epic Proportions". Another earlier stage credit that proved his versatility and skills he had gained as a great improv actor was his work in "Bunny Bunny--Gilda Radner: A Sort of Romantic Comedy".

Trivia

Alan's most prized possesion is an old 1965 Mustang (*sigh*) which he affectionately yet interestingly named "Old Sock" (which he later wrote off while playing tag with cars...:S) . He also named a lot of other things Old Sock- like his bike! It was a "neighbourhood thing" apparently ;)

His favourite film is "Smokey and the bandit"
