CHARLIE MCDERMOTT (Tom Harrison)

Charlie McDermott was born on April 6, 1990 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. At an early age Charlie began making films. Charlie covered all aspects of movie making, directing, editing, even scouting possible filming location by having his parents drive him around town. Once his camera rolled...he began developing his craft as an actor. In school many of his teachers would allow Charlie to submit a film on a given topic in place of his book report, religion or history project.

In 2003, Charlie landed his first movie part in the M. Night Shyamalan film "The Village" playing the role of "10 Year-Old Boy" who delivers the message to William Hurt that the creatures are in the village. Charlie attended the open casting call out of an interest to observe fellow Philadelphia area resident M. Night Shyamalan at work with a hope that he would somehow be chosen to be an extra in the movie. Little did Charlie dream that he would actually get to work with the director! With encouragement from M. Night and other actors on the set, Charlie began the pursuite of his acting career.

Over the next year Charlie would film a number of commercials and land a part in the New England Emmy Award Winning PBS television comedy series, "Windy Acres". It was during the filming of Windy Acres that the director Jay Craven mentioned to Charlie a film project he was developing titled, "Disappearances". With no real assurance that Charlie would even get an audition, he began immersing himself in the role of Disappearances' main character, "Wild Bill Bonhomme", a 15 year-old boy who lives on a farm and helps his father, Quebec Bill, (Played by Kris Kristofferson.), run whiskey across the border in 1932.
