Biography

Personal life

Bright was born Cameron Douglas Crigger in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada; he was given his middle name, "Douglas", after his maternal grandfather. Bright has a scar on his eyebrow which he got as a toddler, after his brother chased him around a rose bush.


Career

Bright's first acting job was in a commercial for Telus, which was soon followed by a guest appearance on the television series, Higher Ground.[1] He subsequently appeared in several minor roles in made-for-television films, and was credited as "Cameron Crigger" for his early roles (from the 2000 television movie, The Christmas Secret, to an episode of Night Visions).

After a supporting part in The Butterfly Effect, Bright's first major role was in Godsend, a horror film co-starring Robert De Niro; the film was released in April 2004 to mixed reviews. In his next film, Birth, he played a ten-year old boy who claims to be the reincarnation of a woman's (Nicole Kidman) deceased husband. Two scenes within the movie sparked controversy and drew media attention to Bright. In one scene, Bright and Kidman's characters kiss; in the other, the two share a bathtub. The actors wore flesh colored swimsuits in the bath scenes and were never really naked although this wasn't known at the time.[1]

Bright was the second choice to play Klaus Baudelaire in the film Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.[1] He was instead cast in several Hollywood films, all of which were released in 2006, including Thank You for Smoking, Ultraviolet, and the action-thriller named Running Scared (starring Paul Walker). He also starred in X-Men: The Last Stand, where he played the mutant Leech, who has the anti-mutant antibody around which the film focuses.[2]

Most recently he appeared in "The 4400" on the episode "The Wrath Of Graham" as a high school student named Graham Holt who develops an ability after injecting himself with Promicin.

Cameron recently moved to the United States in hopes of finding more acting opportunities.
