Freddie Highmore
Birthday:
Birthplace:
London, England, United Kingdom
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). He voiced Astro Boy in the 2009 movie of the same name, and appeared in the big-screen adaptation of Master Harold...and the Boys the next year.
