Canadian child actor Cameron Bright was born Cameron Douglas Crigger on January 26, 1993, in Victoria, British Columbia. His first acting job was a commercial for Telus, followed by an appearance on the TV series "Higher Ground." Cameron then starred in the made-for-television movies "The Christmas Secret," "My Brothers Keeper" and "Lone Hero," as well as guest appearances on "Dark Angel" and "Star Gate Sg-1." His movie credits include roles in "The Butterfly Effect," "Thank You For Smoking" and "Running Scared" and two lead roles in the science fiction films "X-Men The Last Stand" and "Ultraviolet." Cameron currently lives in Nanaimo, Canada, with his mother Anne, older brother Bryce and two dogs and a cat. His favorite bands are Nirvana, Linkin Park and Kings of Leon.
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.
