Cameron Bright on AllMovie

Born in British Columbia, actor Cameron Bright began his career on a highly visible but emotionally demanding note: his first two major feature film roles cast him as the sexually abused 7-year-old victim of a deranged pedophile father (Eric Stoltz) in the Ashton Kutcher sci-fi outing The Butterfly Effect (2004), and as a 10-year-old spousal reincarnation who has an affair with an adult widow (Nicole Kidman) in the eerie psychodrama Birth (2004). In successive years, Bright racked up a series of turns in one prestigious Hollywood feature after another; additional credits included Thank You For Smoking (2005), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), Running Scared (2006), and Juno (2007). In 2009, Bright starred opposite Gretchen Mol in the outing An American Affair, as a 13-year-old boy who strikes up a friendship with one of JFK's former lovers, circa 1963.
