Allan Garcia appeared in over 120 films between 1911 and 1938, mostly in supporting roles. He frequently played in silent film westerns with stars like Leo Carrillo and Warner Baxter. Garcia also directed a short film named ''The Purple Scar'' in 1917, but it stayed his only work as a director. Although born in California he was obviously also of Mexican origin, he played in some Mexican films and also portrayed Mexicans in American films. With the advent of sound film, his roles were somewhat smaller, but he worked until his death as an actor.
Allan Garcia is best-remembered for his work with Charlie Chaplin, he played with Chaplin in six films between 1921 and 1936. Chaplin casted him mostly in clinical or villianous supporting roles. Garcia portrayed the brutal Circus director in ''The Circus'' (1928), the snobbish butler of the millionaire in ''City Lights'' (1931), and the director of the steel factory in ''Modern Times'' (1936) who is bored and plays puzzle while he demands maximum performances from his workers. The actor also worked also as a Casting Director for Chaplin at ''The Circus'', ''City Lights'' and ''Modern Times''. In contrast to his roles in Chaplin films, he engaged himself for better payment and more rights of supporting actors and bit players in films. He was the first chairman and co-founder of the ''Motion Picture Extras and Supporting Playes Association'' which was originated in 1933.〔("Hollywood Unknowns: A History of Extras, Bit Players, and Stand-Ins", Anthony Slide )〕
