Best child-actor since Haley Osment


Dawn Treader was lifted several levels by his performance. It is rare to find a child that can actually ACT instead of just "perform."

Well done Will. I hope you steer clear of the snare of "They liked that performace? I'll just amp it up even more next time!" Keep moving toward subtlety and you have a great career ahead of you!

This boy has an amazing acting gift! I predict that we will see much more of him in the future.

I totally agree! Do you know where he got his acting training? His polished act looks like it came from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Does anyone know out there?

I agree about the subtlety. The thing is the more he's aware that he's good the more likely he's probably going to not be natural in his performance, that sometimes tends to happen with kid actors who grow up. He looks to have acquired some acting "training" from the Harrodian School in London and extracurricular acting clubs as well as School of Comedy.

Yes I totally agree. I think he was the best thing that happened to the movie Dawn Treader. Awesome actor!!
