Nine year-old boy from Brinsley near Hucknall lands lead role in short film
A nine-year-old boy from Brinsley, near Hucknall, has landed a main part in an upcoming new short film.
Charlie Bannister, a student of the Ripley Academy of Drama went through two rounds of rigorous auditions in London where he was asked to improvise scenes, and also train a dog to do tricks.
Charlie is a keen performer and has been studying drama, speech and acting exams and dance with the academy for many years. He has already appeared on several TV sets and his last performance in a BBC period drama is due to air in the new year.
Proud Mum Natalie, who went to school at Hucknall's National Church of England Academy, and Dad James, are understandably delighted that Charlie's hard work has been rewarded.
Miss Cutting, Principal of Ripley Academy of Drama said "We are so proud of Charlie and excited about his latest achievement! Charlie has a fantastic work ethic in lesson and such a mature approach for his age - it's really paid off this time!"
At this moment in time not much information is being disclosed about the project Charlie will be involved with, however, it has been confirmed that he will be filming in London in the coming weeks.
