Over 500 young actors, in more than 20 cities, tried out for the part
of Omri, the hero of
The Indian in the Cupboard (1995). He beat them all - and got the part. He
loved the excitement of making the movie. He read the entire script
before the shooting even started. Then every day he went over his lines
for the scene they were filming. It didn't take him long to learn his
lines - and he never forgot them.
