Allie Raye

Having served as writer, producer or star in numerous film and television projects for nearly twenty years, Allie Raye's colleagues find it hard to imagine the award-winning artist not standing among giants some day. After honing her skills for seven years as a stand-up comedienne on the East Coast, Allie made the move to Los Angeles to further pursue her dreams of acting, producing and writing in the film and television industry. 2002 was a banner year for Allie the actress. She performed alongside Tom Cruise in the box office hit "Minority Report" (in a role written specifically for her after Steven Spielberg saw her audition tape) and Eric Stoltz directed her in an episode of Once and Again. Like Spielberg, Stoltz created additional scenes for Allie after observing her work. She continued with guest appearances on numerous TV hits including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Emmy-winning The Practice and TV's long-running hit, ER. Allie has been featured in three hot music videos: Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be A Redneck If" (directed by Weird Al Yankovic) and Scott Grimes' "Sunset Blvd." She re-teamed with Weird Al for his "Amish Paradise." Allie's numerous credits as multi-tasking artisan include producing, writing and starring in "Purple Rose", the award-winning musical "A Perfect Life" and "Charity", which she co-wrote with actor Douglas Spain (who also directed). Additional festival favorites include the spoofs "Jewz N the Hood" and "Queer Eye for the Homeless Guy" (with Paul Sand). Allie guest-starred as Carlos Mencia's redneck wife on Comedy Central's hit "Mind of Mencia" and on the big screen, in "Domino" with Oscar nominees Kiera Knightley and Mickey Rourke (directed by Tony Scott) and the Indy film "Carts" with TV veteran Ted Lange and her "Charity" collaborator, Douglas Spain. Allie is a series regular in the popular web series "Featherweight."
