2018 Rockin’ Recipient Nic Allen Is Pursuing His Acting Dreams!!
September 30th, 2018
“Allen hopes that by the time he completes the Wayfinders program, he lands a role in a fourth installment [of the ‘Descendants’ film series]. He would also like to be cast in an upcoming ‘Star Wars’ film as well. ‘I wanted to be in these productions because I’ve never been in a movie before,’ he said. ‘They’ve never had a character with Down syndrome and I want to be the first.’ ”
—Nic Allen in 9/5/18 article, “Stockton actor blazing new trails for those with Down syndrome”
LOVE THIS SO MUCH. This is a true self-advocate, peeps!! ????????????❤️ Nic is one of our 2018 Rockin’ Recipients, and I just love that he has a clear vision and goal, and solid reasoning behind it — he’s always loved acting, he loves the Descendants & Star Wars films, and he thinks it’s about time they featured a character with Down syndrome. And he’d make a great actor for the role, thank you very much!!
I could not agree more!!! You rock, Nic — hope it’s going great in the Wayfarers program at Fresno State, and I for one cannot wait to see you up on the big screen!!! ❤️❤️
