Kor Wren

"Kor is an extraordinary child with an old soul. He is intensely intelligent and deeply curious about the characters he is playing . He has a deep well of emotion to draw from and takes direction exceedingly well. He is also playful with a sense of humor and has developed some really impressive martial arts skills. On top of that, he is a kind and loving boy who will be an asset on any set. I predict he will play many roles with intensity, intelligence, and a memorable presence that will leave a lasting impression on audiences. Kor is the dream child actor for any director."
