At just 13 years old, Everett Blunck landed the leading role of Griffin, an ambitious young playwright navigating friendship, a first crush, and the trials of adolescence. His performance has been called confident, charming, and award-worthy. You may have seen Everett performing on The Ellen stage in Willy Wonka, A Christmas Carol, or as a singing and dancing batboy in Damn Yankees, a role that launched him into film and TV. Be on the lookout for Blunck on the silver screen in The Plague with Joel Edgerton (coming soon), Blood for Dust, Outlaw Posse, Rust, and on TV in the limited series Bring on the Dancing Horses.
