Even though fans have clamored for a “Friday Night Lights” reunion, executive producer Jason Katims wanted to wait to work with star Connie Britton until he had the right role.
While writing the script for “Dear Edward,” a look at the only survivor of a plane crash, he realized one of the characters was just right for Britton.
People are also reading… For Colin O’Brien, who plays Edward, the sole survivor, it was difficult to imagine what his character went through. O’Brien drew on the death of a grandparent during the pandemic. “We couldn’t have a funeral for him at the time, so I used that to try and make it seem more real.”
O’Brien – who next stars in “Wonka,” as the young Willy Wonka – says balance is necessary for a story as intense as “Dear Edward.” “Child actors can definitely handle a lot more than you might think.”
