Allen Robinson is a stuntman, stunt coordinator
“When the end credits roll, will you have lived life to the fullest?” -- AR Starting in the entertainment industry in 1985 with live shows, Allen Robinson has worked in productions across the globe and done it all from crashing cars, motorcycle stunts, fire burns, fights, high falls, and has even performed a record bungee jump from a hot air balloon at 3000 ft and flown the world’s only Rocket Belt.
His creativity, safe work practices, attention to detail and well-proven track record garner him respect in the business of Film and Television. One of the first big feature films in Allen’s career turned out to be a forever classic and the first of many films where he stunt-doubled Tom Hanks. In Forrest Gump, you’ve seen Allen swimming from the shrimp boat, running from a pickup truck and getting shot “in the Buh-tocks.” More recently, Allen doubled Tom again as a ship captain in Greyhound. He has doubled other notable actors such as Clint Eastwood, Jim Carrey, Anthony Perkins, Timothy Olyphant (“Justified”) and Tommy Flanagan (“Sons of Anarchy”) just to name a few. When coordinating feature films like State of Play, Get Smart, Blades of Glory, Poseidon, Memoirs of a Geisha and Polar Express, Allen assembles and manages a talented team of stunt professionals that bring a most realistic look to the production. As coordinator, he also supports actors to manage fear as they work through action scenes. Allen Robinson is often the go-to guy when people all over the world need guidance through a risky sport like skydiving, hot air ballooning, bungee jumping, rappelling and zip line design. He has been a professional skydiver and parachute-rigger and has a pilot rating for flying hot air balloons. You can catch Allen signing autographs and movie memorabilia and taking photos with his Scream Ghostface wardrobe for film fans at Horror and Pop Cons nationwide. Allen also shares his stories and techniques to change how we interpret fear in our lives though speaking to large and small groups. When not filming, signing or speaking, Allen volunteers with TEXAR (Texas Search and Rescue). He calls home his “slice of heaven’ in the Hill Country near Austin, Texas with his wife, Sandra Dee Robinson, dogs and horses. |
