One of the strokes of genius of the movie Me, Myself and Irene is the use of familiar - voiced Rex Allen Jr. as the movie's narrator. When Allen intones "Meet Charlie" at the start of the $40 million dollar film produced by the Farrelly Brothers, you expect him to introduce a mountain lion instead of the star, Jim Carrey.

With the success of the Carrey film, Rex Allen Jr. moves his ever expanding career into yet another dimension. There are other narration projects in the works as well as several films.

Blessed with a golden voice and a true dedication to his music and career, Rex Allen Jr. is the consummate  actor, singer, songwriter and entertainer. He proves this at every concert and on every television show. This is why he continually gets invited back for repeat performances both on tour and as a regular on television.

Rex Allen Jr.'s relationship with The Nashville Network began in 1992 when his old friends, The Statler Brothers, called and offered him a regular slot on their Saturday night show. "We knew that Rex could sing anything we could throw at him. He is the best singer in the business" said Harold and Don Reid of the Statlers. When the show premiered in the fall of 1992, it quickly became TNN's highest rated show.

After three successful years on The Statler Brothers Show, TNN asked Rex to consider "spinning off" the most popular segment, Yesteryear, into its own series. Yesteryear debuted on September 30, 1994 and within four weeks became the number 2 rated show on the network with an average viewing audience of more than 28 million people in 58 million households nationally.

Rex returned to the Statler Brothers show in 1996 for two more seasons. The last show Rex did as a regular was the highest rated show in TNN history.

With the success of both television shows and the Jim Carrey film, Warner Brothers decided to release a new collection of Rex's greatest hits called The Very Best Of Rex Allen Jr.  Warner Western has released a body of Rex's  western music recordings with his father called The Singing Cowboys. And finally Rex has recorded and released his much awaited gospel album with 24 classic gospel songs entitled Faith of a Man.

In 1997, Rex wrote, directed and starred in the production show Gone Country at a major venue in Las Vegas. "Las Vegas is the capitol of live entertainment and it has always been one of my goals to perform there" comments Rex. "This opportunity gave me the chance to do it right. Like I always wanted." Gone Country propelled Rex to even greater national prominence and showed that production and direction are a part of his future.

Rex Allen Jr. grew up in a show business family. It could be said that he was destined to enter the world of entertainment. He began singing at a very early age and decided that his enjoyment of singing and performing was transferred easily to family and friends at church and school. "I remember as a boy I would sneak over to the Troubadour in L.A. and listen to Hoyt Axton...from the outside! He had a great influence on my singing style."

"I majored in theater arts in college and studied at the MGM Actors Studio with Vince Chase to also pursue an acting career," said Rex. "I knew that learning to feel comfortable on stage would enhance my musical performance and help put my audience and me at ease. I have never lost sight that people pay to be entertained and that I must always give them my best performance."

Rex has had a steady flow of top 40 singles during his recording career. Songs like Lonely Street, No, No, No and It's Over are just a few. Rex was also honored in 1982 by having his song and recording Arizona adopted as the official state song.

A body of albums such as Brand New, Ridin' High, Oklahoma Rose, Cat's in the Cradle and The Singing Cowboy cemented Rex's reputation as a highly original and refreshingly versatile singer/songwriter. Through this national recognition and media exposure Rex Allen Jr. was named Most Promising Male Vocalist by the fan voted Music City News Awards and won the Country Music Magazine Entertainer of the Year.

If entertainment is what you want, then Rex Allen Jr. fills the bill. But, most importantly, Rex's audiences always leave the show knowing they have been entertained.
