Biography
Actor Hunter Parrish first caught the eye of many moviegoers with his roles as the brainy son of
Jeff Daniels and
Kristin Chenoweth in
RV and a troubled inner-city high school student in the 2007 drama
Freedom Writers. Yet despite these noteworthy feature achievements, Parrish's biggest early accomplishment was his leading role as a naïve suburban teen in the 2005 drama
Steal Me -- in which he proved he could carry a feature and took home a Method Fest award for his efforts. In 2005, Parrish was cast in Showtime's
Weeds as the grieving, insecure teenager Silas Botwin, who is forced to become the man of the house after his father dies unexpectedly. Parrish -- along with the rest of the
Weeds cast -- was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild award in 2007. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
