Reece Thompson: Movies & Box Office

Reece Daniel Thompson (born 22 November 1988) is a Canadian actor who first stepped into the entertainment world as a child voice‑over artist, lending his youthful tone to series such as Infinite Ryvius, MegaMan NT Warrior, InuYasha and Master Keaton. Growing up in White Rock, a small community near Vancouver, he convinced his mother to homeschool him after sixth grade so he could devote more time to acting classes, where an early agent discovered his talent and began sending him to auditions. Thompson’s first on‑screen appearances were modest guest spots on shows like Jeremiah and Tru Calling, but his breakout came in 2002 when he portrayed James Barns in the Canadian children’s series I Love Mummy. From voice work to live‑action, his versatility shines; he played Jinto on Stargate Atlantis, appeared in Dreamcatcher (2003) and earned a recurring role on the youth series Zixx as Dwayne, a part he reprised through three seasons. His first major film lead arrived with Rocket Science (2007), where he embodied Hal Hefner, a stuttering teen navigating debate team politics – a performance that helped the film secure a Grand Jury Prize nomination at Sundance. Subsequent credits include Assassination of a High School President (2009), the French‑Canadian drama Afterwards, and a supporting turn as Marshall in Daydream Nation (2010). In 2012 he reached a wider audience as Craig in the beloved adaptation The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Beyond the screen, Thompson splits his time between Vancouver and Los Angeles, maintaining a low‑key personal life with no publicly disclosed spouse or children. His career, spanning over two decades, reflects a steady evolution from animated voices to nuanced dramatic roles, securing his place as a dependable talent in North‑American film and television.
