Douglas Mayberry, Marine Corps. Part of a convoy killed by a roadside bomb during the pre-credit sequence of Child of Honour. This weekend, I finally had a chance to see the performance so raved about on Access Hollywood. D____ looked good up there, for the three minutes and twenty-seven seconds of screen time allotted to him and the other superfluous grunts. The scene was impeccably shot and staged, and utterly layered with pathos, setting up the audience for two hours of tears as the titular little boy struggled to find himself with only the vaguest memories of last year’s best supporting actor as his dad.
Andreas Rain did have a point: D____ wasn’t top billed or anything, but damn if the camera didn’t fall in love with him. He was barely more than a name and a body
