<p>Allen Rowe (FBI Most Wanted, The Last Ship, Hawaii Five-0, ) has been a long time student of Stan Kirsch Studios. In this episode, he joins his mentor Colleen Foy to look back on his unique journey as an actor. Allen shares his early struggles, including flying between San Francisco and Los Angeles for auditions and the pivotal moments that shaped his career. Born in Taipei, Taiwan and being of Chinese descent meant that Allen had to deal with a lack of roles that he saw himself in early on. It was because of his community and classes at studios like SKS that kept him going and allowed him to craft his iconic, memorable auditions that led to roles on shows like &#39;Monk&#39; and &#39;CSI Cyber.&#39; Allen also discusses his experience working in Asia as a series regular on Tou Du (Wei Xian lu Cheng) and what he’s hoping for in the future. If you’ve been looking for motivation to keep going and remain resilient, this is the episode for you.</p><p>00:00 Introduction and Welcoming Allen</p><p>00:24 Early Acting Struggles and Auditions </p><p>01:15 Breakthrough and Career Milestones </p><p>02:04 Challenges and Learning in Acting Classes </p><p>06:04 Memorable Audition Stories </p><p>07:29 Dealing with Rejection and Staying Active </p><p>10:58 Script Analysis and Preparation Techniques </p><p>20:17 On-Set Experiences and Networking</p><p>24:09 Reflecting on Early Career Experiences </p><p>24:25 Navigating the One-Hour Drama Auditions </p><p>25:43 Transitioning to Acting in Asia </p><p>27:36 Challenges and Successes in China</p><p>28:37 Returning to the US and Building Connections </p><p>31:06 Aspirations for a Series Regular Role </p><p>33:41 Exploring Different Genres and Roles </p><p>34:25 Portraying My Grandfather </p><p>36:40 Representation and Diversity in Acting </p><p>41:30 The Art of Self-Taping</p><p> 43:44 Inside the Actor&#39;s Studio Questions</p><p>EPISODE LINKS:</p><p>· Allen’s<a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1115103/"><u> IMDb</u></a></p><p>· Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theosky8/"><u>Allen on IG @theosky8</u></a></p><p>Host: <a href="https://stankirschstudios.com/colleen-bio"><u>⁠Colleen Foy⁠</u></a></p><p>Producer: <a href="https://stankirschstudios.com/kristyn-bio"><u>⁠Kristyn Daniel⁠</u></a></p><p>Music by: Lindsay Boreing and Will Boreing</p><p>________________</p><p>Want to learn more about Stan Kirsch Studios? <a href="https://stankirschstudios.com/"><u>⁠Visit Our Website Here.⁠</u></a></p><p><a href="https://stankirschstudios.com/podcast/"><u>⁠Catch up on the podcast here.⁠</u></a></p><p>Follow SKS on IG <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stankirschstudios/"><u>⁠@stankirschstudios ⁠</u></a><br></p>
