Get to Know the Talented Gabriel Bateman!

At just 13 years old, Gabriel Bateman has more credits to his name than most actors twice his age. It’s not just because he comes from a very talented family, Gabe is a star in his own right. Bateman tells us that after watching a behind the scenes video of a short film his sister Talitha Bateman starred in he decided to become an actor. And after bugging his mom to actually let him, Gabe is now considered amongst the top young actors working in Hollywood today.

Since emerging as a talent in the 2014 film Annabelle, Gabe can be seen in the 2015 film Band of Robbers as Young Huck Finn, Checkmate, Lights Out, and this year’s remake of the classic kid’s film Benji on Netflix. He can also be seen in episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, Wicked City, American Gothic, and of course Outcast. In addition, Bateman has appeared in two music videos for Jon Lajoie! “It’s a Job” and “A New Beginning.”

Don’t let the small size fool you, Gabe is adamant about immersing himself into a character’s words and body, and as you’ll see in the interview he articulates his process thoughtfully and professionally. Gabe told us how Bryan Cranston convinced him to turn down work and take the lead role in Amazon’s new original series The Dangerous Book for Boys, and how star-struck he was first working with Richard Dreyfus.

 

 

Watch the first season of The Dangerous Book for Boys on Amazon now, and keep an eye out for the new season of Outcast premiering on Cinemax in July!
