Allan
Aaron Katz – Allan wrote, produced and acted for the successful
Canadian comedy troupe MAD IN CANADA. After being named Best Newcomer
in Canadian Television he moved to Los Angeles where he continued his
acting career, but began to concentrate more on his writing.
He wrote and acted
in the Miramax film DIAMONDS starring Kirk Douglas, Dan Ackroyd and
Lauren Bacall. His script DESERT STORM (Martin Poll Productions) has
John Milius attached to direct. This coming summer Allan is producing
his first feature film based on his script SENOR VASQUEZ AND THE HOLY
DONUT (Atomik Pictures) starring Alfred Molina in the lead role.
Raised as an Orthodox
Jew during the Disco era SHABBOS NIGHT FEVER is basically Allan Katz’s
true life story except for the fact the girl was French Canadian, he
lived in Montreal, he didn’t wear peahs and his brother was not
a rabbi. Okay, a lot of it is made up, but he’s a very good disco
dancer.
Allan is represented
by Martin Baum at CAA.
