. . . Where Are They Now? . . .
Hello fans,

I remember watching the movie Finding Neverland and being very impressed by the young boy who played the role of Peter. I later learned that this actor's name was Freddie Highmore when he appeared once again with Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I figured he must be quite grown up by now, and I decided to find out and share with all of you what he is doing now!

Take care,
Melissa
