Freddie Highmore Movies
Born in early 1992, British performer
Freddie Highmore shot to fame as a child star, via plum roles -- usually leads -- in family-oriented contemporary classics such as the 2004
Finding Neverland (as Peter Llewelyn Davies),
Tim Burton's 2005
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (as Charlie Bucket), and the 2006
Arthur and the Invisibles (as Arthur). From time to time, he also essayed child parts in adult-oriented films, such as
Ridley Scott's gentle, heartfelt drama
A Good Year and the music-themed drama
August Rush, which co-starred
Jonathan Rhys-Meyers,
Keri Russell, and
Robin Williams. In 2007,
Highmore opted for a unique turn as identical twins in
Mark Waters' hotly anticipated, family-oriented fantasy
The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008). ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
