BYRON TAYLOR (2)

Okay we know that we've covered this guy once but he is well worth a second look. Byron has one of those truly great faces that stick in your memory and, as we said before, he is one seriously good actor. Here he is in a later production, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice". He is in nearly every scene and truly carries the movie with great skill and talent. Not only does Byron have a great face but he knows how to use it. This kid is no method actor and you can see, as the different emotions flash across his face,that he is genuinely living every scene - and that I promise you is the mark of a truly great actor. If you haven't seen Byron in either "Merlin - The Return" or any of his other movies, get "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", after so many over-produced Hollywood child actors, this kid is a breath of fresh air.

We've received the following email from Byron and with his permission we print it here.
As we said before - one seriously great kid.
