who played lorenzo
i am watching this for school and was wondering... who plays lorenzo? it isnt listed above and i was curious
shareseriousl. who id play him? I'm writting a reasearch paper on the arenoleukdistrophy and how the movie portrayed the disease, however, I cannot properly explain how it was portrayed without knowing more about the actor?
shareactually, if you pay attention in the credits, it says that Lorenzo was played by six different boys.

the little kid was zack o'malley greenburg, i dont know who the older one was. he hasnt been in anything else though.
shareTommy from Rugrats
shareE.G. (Elizabeth) Daily is a voice actor and I believe she was Lorenzo's voice whenever you heard him screaming or crying in the film. She is the same person who plays the voice of Tommy in "Rugrats."
shareare you ******* serious? I was just trying to make a joke out of that one because I thought he sounded like Tommy. I can't believe it was actually the voice of Tommy O_O
shareYeah actually it was.
When you hear him screaming from choking from his saliva, it sounds like Tommy. They did a voice over or something...
did any of the actors actually have the disease, because the kid's hand in some scenes looks so decayed it would have been hard to just have that kind of hand. Maybe the hand was fake.
shareI kind of doubt any of them actually had it.

Is everyone watching this in school?
Geez...my teacher's out due to pregnancy and we're watching it now.
Garrett Hedlund laughing makes my day.
Yea, we watched it in school. I didn't like it that much.Especially Nick Nolte. He was terrible

our school classes had to watch it in our 9th grade....at that time, the kid that played lorenzo in the movie was in 11th grade at my highschool. the kid does actually have disorders and is in a wheelchair to this day - his disorder is different then the disorder in the movie however (of which, i forget).
im twenty so he'd be around 22-23 years old by now. im not sure *which* lorenzo he played in the movie, i think he was the main one. but it has been years since i've seen the movie, so i don't know if there is a 'main' one. i know he was the one that was in the bed having the seizure...shaking and bouncing in the bed.....because he told me the story behind it and how he was shaking and bouncing like that. he was the kid i went to school with.
im talking about michael haider by the way.
i attended avonworth highschool, pittsburgh,pa
Monsterman: I beg to differ. I think this was one of Nick Nolte's better performances. Not to mention, his Italian is stunning (which I had no idea he spoke such fluent Italian).
shareyep we just watched it today and yesterday. its an awesome movie but it's so sad!! i'm glad lorenzo didn't die at the end. in fact he's now 28 and still living, although his mother died from lung cancer in 2000. he's pretty much a vege
shareI think the boys who played Lorenzo when he was older actually had some sort of paralyzing disease. No healthy child is that emaciated.
