DAVID BRADLEY

No child actor gallery would be complete without this guy. David Bradley gave one of the most stunning performances ever seen on the cinema screen as the young Billy Casper in Ken Loach's superb movie "Kes". This was a natural born talent that quite frankly took our breath away back in 1969. In fact it seemed to us unfair that we should slave away at our Stage Schools learning our craft when David could come along and with his natural ability just be so brilliant. His performance was one that is just always still talked about whenever filmmakers get together. I met him once back in about 1970/71, he was a really nice natural guy, I liked him a lot. I believe that David has a movie coming out this year called "The King Is Alive", I know he also played "Equus" on Broadway, it's great to hear that he is still doing well. If you read this David please drop us a line.
