Michael Jason Allen landed his first professional acting gig as a day player in the Columbia Pictures movie "What Planet Are You From" starring John Goodman, Annette Bening, Greg Kinnear, and Ben Kingsley (1999). Going on to star in national television commercials for Yosh Fragrances, HGTV and the California Board of Tourism among others, he's continued in films, television commercials and various television shows on FOX and the W Network. In 2008, he founded his feature film production company He Said She Said Productions. His debut film was covered by USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Arizona Republic, and positive reviews from film critics. Since then, he has subsequently gone on to write, direct, produce and star in 11 award winning or nominated independent feature films while performing the cinematography in 8 of them. He is the lead vocalist, songwriter, and instrumentalist for his electronica-rock band "Magnificent Lie". He also has a 1980's era alter ego named Jason Mysteria in which he has released several pop albums with many music videos. In 2023, he began adapting his movies into audio books.

Did you know

Edit
  • Trivia
    Was an accomplished national level tennis player and pro level instructor.
  • Quotes
    I don't like doing reality shows such as the ones I have done because the scripted and misleading direction they give impresses viewers to assume it's real. They've fed me lines that I wouldn't have conjured myself and have directed me to insult cast members I actually like -- in the name of interesting content.
