After reading a few lines from the script, Alan immediately felt a connection to the character of Jed King, a brooding singer songwriter caught in a love triangle. He landed the starring role in the film, and authentically conveyed the delicate emotional nuances of a man struggling to balance fame and family. After "The Song" released in fall 2014, a steady stream of praise for Alan Powell, a newcomer to the big screen, began to emerge in the press.Despite having garnered so much success early on in his career, this husband and father of three is grounded in family - his first priority - and is most passionate about this aspect of his life. Alan married his high school sweetheart, Brycie, in 2006. He fell for her after hearing her sing in a school performance. Now they have three beautiful daughters.
