His new show Salvage pairs him with Toby Kebbell and Charity Wakefield. The show centers on ex-cop Jimmy Hill (Kebbell), who just wants to be left alone after moving back home to rural Florida.

'He totally understands the actor and what you need and creates a feeling and environment that allows you to go full-out and risk 100 percent. 

'Anyone who sees this movie and my performance will say, “I’ve never seen him do this, and I didn’t know he could.” It was heavy duty, but I’ve never been more prepared in my career.'

Allen has been under fire for claims made by his daughter Dylan Farrow that he had sexual relations with her when she was a child.

The director has denied any wrong doing.
