Lewis John Moir MacDougall (born 5 June 2002) is a Scottish film actor. He made his film debut in the fantasy film Pan (2015). He subsequently starred in the fantasy tragedy film A Monster Calls (2016), the road trip drama film Boundaries (2018) and The Belly of the Whale (2018).

Early life

[edit]

MacDougall was brought up in Edinburgh, Scotland.[1] His father is a retired banker. His mother, Fiona, died in December 2013 from multiple sclerosis, and a few weeks after her death Lewis was cast as Nibs in the film Pan.[2][3] Before his first film he had acted only in small parts at his local drama group, The Drama Studio, which specialised in improvised rather than scripted performances.[2][4][5]

Career

[edit]

MacDougall made his film debut in 2015 as Nibs in Pan, directed by Joe Wright, after attending an open audition in Morningside.[2] In 2016, he starred in A Monster Calls, opposite Felicity Jones and Liam Neeson, and released on 23 December.[6] In the film, a dark fantasy drama, he plays a boy whose mother is dying of a terminal illness, and who begins communicating with a tree monster seemingly living outside his house. On 6 October 2016, MacDougall attended the gala screening for A Monster Calls, at the BFI London Film Festival, where he was interviewed about his role.[7] On 12 December, he appeared on BBC's The One Show, alongside co-star Liam Neeson, where he also talked about the film.[8]

He then co-starred in the road trip comedy-drama Boundaries, opposite Vera Farmiga and Christopher Plummer, which premiered at South by Southwest in March 2018.[9] In 2018 he also appeared as Lewis in the short film Multiplex.[10]
