One of the early young stars who had an account and interacted with fans on Teen Stars online was the talented and engaging young actor Devon Alan.
Devon Alan was born on July 7, 1991, in Los Angeles, California. At the age of six, he appeared in the feature film “Simon Birch” and his acting career was off and running. His other work in features includes “Beneath Loch Ness” in 2001 and “Throttle” in 2002. The next year he was cast in the lead role in “It’s Better to be Wanted for Murder Than Not to Be Wanted at All,” a Fox film, for which he received a Young Artists Award nomination for “Best Performance in a Short Film”.
At only 11, he was cast from a nationwide search to play a lead role as Tim Munn in the thriller “Undertow.” Devon won the 2005 Young Artists Award for his amazing performance as a sickly Southern boy with eating disorders.
He then went on to star in “The Iris Effect,” a mystery/thriller, where Devon flew to St. Petersburg, Russia, to film a lead role, as a young artist who is homeless and lives on the streets. He leads an American woman, Anne Archer, throughout Russia to find her artist son, who ran away from home as a teenager.
Devon has appeared in several made-for-television movies, including playing the role of Reba McEntire’s son, “Toby”, in the CBS movie special, Secret of Giving, also, playing “Young Scott” in Missing Pieces, and then the role of “Max” in Steven King’s miniseries, Firestarter 2: Rekindled, where he played a “telekinetic” boy who could move objects with his mind.

He also made a guest-starring appearance as “Ethan Archer” in the episode “Leap of Faith” for the series “Blind Justice.”
After his role in the feature “Blind Justice,”, we did not see Devon on screen but in 2011 he wrote, produced, and appeared in the short “Lilly” and appeared in the short “The Wait.” During this time he attended college majoring in film. Devon later attended Pepperdine Univ SOL; Malibu CA and graduated and is now an attorney focusing on the entertainment industry.
In his spare time, Devon enjoys outdoor sports, such as backpacking, hiking, archery, and river rafting.
Very competent child actor that never really got the full attention he deserved.
Fantastic child actor, had a crush on him in those days when I was 12. 😛
Fantastic, I was a big fan of Devon as a kid, found him right on Teen Stars Online, and enjoyed his movies, fantastic to hear he is an attorney I had lost track through the years.
A terrific child actor, I always thought he should have been in way more movies, he was that good.
This kid was outstanding in “Undertow” should have been a major child star
