He also appeared in the television series “The Mists of Avalon” in which he portrayed a young King Arthur. This was followed by “Happy Birthday Shakespeare” and “Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story” in which he acted alongside his father. Three years after “Jack in the Beanstalk”, he was seen in big films such as “Two Brothers”, and “Five Children and It”, a film that starred Kenneth Branagh. These were a positive start to his net worth.

He received numerous nominations and several awards for his performance, including a Critics’ Choice Movie Award for Best Young Performer. A year later, he starred in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” with Johnny Depp. According to reports, it was Johnny who recommended him for the role, after working with him in “Finding Neverland”. He won multiple awards once again, along with numerous nominations; he also lent his voice to a video game based on the film. After appearing as a young version of Russel Crowe’s character in “A Good Year”, he then went on to do voice acting in “Arthur and the Invisibles”. This was followed by two sequels entitled “Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard” and “Arthur 3: The War of the Two Worlds” – he also provided voice acting for the video game associated with the films. This pattern continued in 2007 with “The Golden Compass”, and he was also part of the film “August Rush” alongside Robin Williams, Keri Russell and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Doing work on films and voice acting, he would go on and make his next projects which included “The Spiderwick Chronicles”, “Astro Boy”, and “The Art of Getting By”.
For his recent work, he’s been a part of “Bates Motel”, a prequel series for the film “Psycho” that restarts the story in present times. He’s been nominated multiple times for that role as well. He’s also expected to continue voice acting and has some films and series currently in production.
