The wonderfully sexy Will Allen aka Francesco Simone has had a very unique timeline to his multi-faceted career over the last several decades! Will started making movies as a kid and ended up going to Southern Methodist U to get his film degree, but shortly after graduating from college, he ended up unknowingly joining a cult! Well, we guess no one really KNOWINGLY joins a cult... They just end up a part of a "religious movement" so to speak. For Will, he joined Buddhafield in the early 80s and began to practice the teachings of Jaime Gomez, the yoga teacher/inspired leader who recruits others through yoga studios with his "new age" ideas. Throughout the course of his time there, Will, being a filmmaker at heart, records countless hours and hours of footage of the group, their leader and his increasing paranoia after the Waco, Texas siege of the Branch Davidian compound. In 2016, Will compiled and edited his footage into the documentary Holy Hell, which garnered him plenty of attention on the award circuits that year! Lucky for us though, apart from portraying himself in his own documentary, Will has a single acting credit to his name and it comes in one of the most popular TV series of all time, Lost. Will plays M.C. Gainey's lover in one episode and he gets to smooch on the beloved character actor for a moment. Hopefully Will keeps hunting for acting gigs, but it looks like he's sticking behind the lens for the time being with a couple documentary projects on the way!
