Bill Allen, portrayed Amil Dinsio, an infamous burglar who, in collaboration with others, allegedly stole over $12 million of President Richard Nixon’s money from a bank vault in Laguna Niguel, California. 

“It is the story of these guys out of Ohio that get a tip from a large mob boss. Nixon had a large slush fund in a bank in California, allegedly, and they go to do this bank robbery of over $30,000,000,” said Allen as he described the episode.

Dinsio and his partners pulled off one of the largest bank heists in American history. The burglary’s investigation by the FBI resulted in the second largest man hunt since John F. Kennedy’s assassination. 

Allen, who currently resides in Knoxville, said he became involved in the series through his agent, the Stairs Agency in Tennessee. 

“Super Heists” is not the first series in which Allen has appeared. He has also played roles in “Snapped”, “American Detective”, “The Heist”, “Sins of the City”, “Killer Couples” and more. 

Allen said in college, his degree was in psychology and theater.

“I have always aspired to be an actor,” said Allen. 

The first episode premiered Monday evening. The series is available on CNBC on Mondays at 10 p.m. EST.
