Criminal Minds

[jesusrock7]

Watching a rerun of the American show. Season 6 episode 16, "Coda," involves an autistic 10-year-old who witnessed a shooting, and the disappearance of his parents. Anyone have info (beyond IMDb) about the boy who plays the autie?

I love that episode! I still think about the song he played.

I don't know anything about him, but I wouldn't expect too much. I'm reminded about what Stuart Murray said about child actors in "Representing Autism," that they're rarely ever recognized because in Hollywood's eyes they barely act at all.

Criminal Minds is incredibly popular in the U.S., and I know it's syndicated in the UK, but beyond that, I'm not sure. I hear about shows from other countries via my friends who live there (I have a good friend in Ulsan, in Korea, and it's because of her that I've become addicted to K-dramas and the occasional Japanese show).

No, I met the two Korean girls I know when they were in America studying English. One of them got me into Boys Over Flowers, which I think is the adapted version of Hana yori Dango from Japan.
