He has been on NCIS, The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, and Fringe as a “kid killer”. He was also in Click as the annoying neighbor kid, and played Chad, the kid who bites, on Malcolm in the Middle. Can’t wait to see the character for SVU in action.
My sister was going to go bowling with him for a charity fundraiser, but she had to go all the way to LA.


Cameron Monaghan from Shameless plays the distraught son! He’s the Guest Star people should want to see. Very versatile, talented actor.
