My Take
For a lot of people my age, Jeremy Sumpter will always be Peter Pan. Born in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California in 1989, he took the title role in the 2003 fantasy film as a child actor, and that's a tough image to outgrow. What I admire is that he didn't vanish afterward. He found a recurring spot as J. D. McCoy on Friday Night Lights between 2008 and 2010, then turned up in the 2014 disaster film Into the Storm. That's the harder path for a former child star, and the fact that he keeps an active official site and social presence tells me he's still very much in the game.
