Biography
Born in British Columbia, actor Cameron Bright began his career on a highly visible but emotionally demanding note: his first two major feature film roles cast him as the sexually abused 7-year-old victim of a deranged pedophile father (
Eric Stoltz) in the
Ashton Kutcher sci-fi outing
The Butterfly Effect (2004), and as a 10-year-old spousal reincarnation who has an affair with an adult widow (
Nicole Kidman) in the eerie psychodrama
Birth (2004). In successive years, Bright racked up a series of turns in one prestigious Hollywood feature after another; additional credits included
Thank You For Smoking (2005), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006),
Running Scared (2006), and
Juno (2007). In 2009, Bright starred opposite
Gretchen Mol in the outing
An American Affair, as a 13-year-old boy who strikes up a friendship with one of JFK's former lovers, circa 1963. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
