Additional Notes: An extremely talented actor with strong emotional availability, versatility, and a powerful presence that can effortlessly flip the switch between comedic and dramatic material. Just went to network for a recurring on HART OF DIXIE (CW) as well as on TOUCH (FOX). Currently can be seen on the big screen in Kenneth Branagh's blockbuster, THOR, as well as a in the stoner comedy feature RANDOM ENCOUNTERS starring Michael Rady, and in the just released award-winner, ELLE (2010 NEWPORT BEACH FILM FESTIVAL Audience Winner). Stars opposite legendary film actor James Russo (PUBLIC ENEMIES, DONNIE BRASCO) as his troubled son in the indie drama, DREAMS & SHADOWS, as a dirty, abusive hillbilly in SCARY OR DIE, starring Corbin Bleu (HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL), and as a drug dealing punk in the action flick MOB RULES, starring Lennie James (THE NEXT THREE DAYS). Recurred on the series,THE TRIBORO (NYTVF Pilot Winner) Producer/director sessions for roles on shows like TOUCH, BREAKING BAD, SUPERNATURAL, CSI, JUSTIFIED, CSI: MIAMI, CASTLE, KEEP HOPE ALIVE, THE PINK HOUSE, UNDERCOVERS, ZEKE & LUTHER, SONNY WITH A CHANCE, just to name a few. Robert Zemeckis, Victoria Burrows and Scot Boland selected him from an international talent pool (second only to Cary Elwes) to play Beatles's guitarist George Harrison in the remake of THE YELLOW SUBMARINE. After viewing his screen test for YELLOW SUBMARINE, Marcia Ross (Exec. VP of Casting, Buena Vista/Disney) became so impressed by his work that she called him straight to producers for a supporting role in Pixar's first live-action feature, JOHN CARTER OF MARS. Subsequently, he was then heavily considered by Peter Jackson for 2 lead roles in THE HOBBIT. A MUST SEE!!!
