A young Co Donegal actor has landed a part in a major Hollywood film.

Art Parkinson, a twelve year old from Moville, has been cast in earthquake action film ‘San Andreas’.
The young actor will star opposite Dwayne Johnson (‘Fast and Furious 6’), Carla Gugino (‘Night at the Museum’) and Alexandra Daddario (‘Percy Jackson’) in the feature from New Line Cinema.
The plot involves a massive earthquake in California, after which a rescue-shopper pilot journeys across the state to rescue his daughter.

The young Donegal actor is best-known for playing the character Rickon Stark in HBO’s hit series ‘Game of Thrones’.
He has starred in all three seasons of the show and will return in the fourth, the first episode of which will premiere at the Belfast Film Festival.
The young Irish actor previously starred in ‘Red Mist’ (called ‘Freakdog’ in some territories) and Irish horror film ‘Dark Touch’ with Padraic Delaney (‘The Wind that Shakes the Barley’) and Richard Dormer (‘GOT’, ‘Good Vibrations’).
He will also star in the upcoming ‘Dracula Untold’, helmed by Irish director Gary Shore and produced with Universal, Legendary Pictures and Michael de Luca Productions. He will play the son of Luke Evans’ character in the feature.
‘San Andreas’ will be directed by Brad Peyton (‘Journey 2’) with a screenplay by Allan Loeb, Carlton Cuse, Carey Hayes and Chad Hayes.
The film will be shot in Australia.
