Early years
Allen, a native of Livermore, California, began training in acrobatics at a young age and attended the Kirov Academy of Ballet in Washington D.C., where he was discouraged from pursuing ballet further after seeing Taras Domitro perform Romeo & Juliet at the Kennedy Center. After graduation, he moved to Los Angeles and worked in commercials as well as lip syncing in a Master P music video.
Allen's career began in July 2015, when he was cast as the lead in the Hulu drama series The Path, alongside Aaron Paul and Michelle Monaghan. He appeared in all 36 episodes. Allen appeared in a recurring role in American Horror Story after the series ended in 2018, and in 2019, he was cast as Balkan, one of the Jets in Steven Spielberg's West Side Story, an adaptation of the Broadway musical of the same name.
Allen will play Romeo in Rosaline, a modern retelling of Romeo & Juliet co-starring Kaitlyn Dever and Isabela Merced, and in The Greatest Beer Run Ever, co-starring Zac Efron and Russell Crowe, both in 2021. Allen was cast as He-Man in the Netflix live-action film reboot of Masters of the Universe on January 28, 2022. Allen was cast in the third installment of Kenneth Branagh's Hercule Poirot adaptations, A Haunting in Venice, in October 2022.
