Biography: "I did my first play while in the first grade, at summer camp, when I was about seven years old. By the time I was in junior high and high school, I knew that I wanted to be an actor for my profession. I consider myself very lucky and very fortunate to be a working actor. I make my living as an actor and it isn't an easy thing to do.
I have been in over 200 TV shows and several dozen feature films, as well as dozens of plays. I also do voice overs, radio spots, and commercials; whatever the craft allows and whatever pays to work professionally. It is a great career and a sacred art form. In this country arts are not always honored as they are in other countries and as they have been in other periods of history. In the States, acting and most arts are commercial or popular culture. And that is fine. But as an artist one always strives to do great work. As an actor, that means the theatre and the classic repertory like Shakespeare, Moliere, Shaw and Checkov, among others. I have been very fortunate to have been able to work on stage also, and here in L.A. at the Theatricum Botanicum in Topanga Canyon." - GilmoreGirls.org
Update: Alan was very active in play productions, and in 1980, he played 'Decker' in the San Francisco stage production of Bleacher Bums.
