Fun fact

He won the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Young Performer for Room, a role that required him to convincingly play a boy who has never seen the outside world.

Born in Vancouver but raised in nearby Langley, BC, giving one of the most acclaimed child performances of the decade in Room before he'd turned nine. Born here, raised here, five points.
