	Actors - Cameron Bright

Cameron Douglas Bright (born January 26, 1993) is a Canadian child actor. He is perhaps best known for his performances in the films Godsend
, Birth
and Running Scared
. He is slated to appear in several more films in 2006.

Life

Bright was born in Nanaimo, British Columbia; he was given his middle name, "Douglas", after his maternal grandfather. Bright has a scar on his eyebrow which he got as a toddler, after his brother chased him around a rose bush.

He currently lives in Canada with his mother, Anne, his older brother, Bryce (a commercial actor), his two dogs and his cat.

Career

Bright's first acting job was in a commercial for Telus, which was soon followed by a guest appearance on the television series, Higher Ground. He subsequently appeared in several minor roles in made-for-television films, and was credited as "Cameron Crigger" for his early roles (from the 2000 television movie, The Christmas Secret, to an episode of Night Visions).

After a supporting part in The Butterfly Effect
, Bright's first major role was in Godsend
, a horror film co-starring Robert De Niro; the film was released in April 2004 to mixed reviews. In his next film, Birth
, he played a ten-year old boy who claims to be the reincarnation of a woman's (Nicole Kidman) deceased husband. Two scenes within the movie sparked controversy and drew media attention to Bright. In one scene, Bright and Kidman's characters kiss; in the other, the two share a bathtub. The actors wore flesh colored swimsuits in the bath scenes and were never really naked.

Bright was the second choice to play Klaus Baudelaire in the film Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
. He was instead cast in several Hollywood films, all of which were released in 2006, including Thank You for Smoking
and Ultraviolet
, as well as in the role of Orlin in The Four Horsemen episodes of the television series Stargate SG-1. The first of these films, an action-thriller named Running Scared
(starring Paul Walker), was released in February 2006. His next role will be in X-Men: The Last Stand
, where he will play the mutant Leech.
