Allen is playing a showman who runs away with the family’s young niece, Miss Quentin (Joey King).
The latest deal reunites Allen with Franco, with whom he worked in Bukowski, the indie feature Franco recently directed about the poet and novelist who died in 1994.
On Liars, Allen plays misunderstood bad boy Toby Cavanaugh. He is repped by APA and Konrad Leh of Creative Talent Group.
