Balthazar Getty
Born in the U.S., as a child Balthazar Getty was sent overseas to attend an acclaimed boarding school in the U.K. This may have helped to prepare him for his first feature role. At the age of 13, Getty was cast in the film adaptation of the classic novel Lord of the Flies written by William Golding. The script, which follows a group of boys who evolve into bloodthirsty savages after becoming stranded on a remote island, was edited to remove much of the cursing over parents concerns. For five years, Getty was on ABC’s “Brothers & Sisters” until its run ended in 2011.
