George MacKay (actor)

George MacKay (born 13 March, 1992) is an English actor.

Biography

At the age of five, he produced, directed and created his very own production of the play "Peter and the Wolf" with his friends playing the characters. He cast himself as in the lead role of the Wolf so that he could swing from trees.

In 2002, MacKay was spotted at his school by an acting scout, who asked him if he would like to audition for a role in "Peter Pan". He attended a workshop, and quickly won the part of one of the Lost Boys, Curly, in what was his big break.

Soon after, he had small roles in an episode of "Rose and Maloney" and television drama "Footprints in the Snow".

In 2005, at the age of thirteen, he won the role of Riccio in "The Thief Lord" (2006). The film adaptation of Cornelia Funke's best selling children's novel.

Later on in the same year, he was also cast in the lead role in "Johnny and the Bomb", a BBC drama adapted from Terry Pratchett's novel of the same name.
