Quiet, observant, and emotionally complex. Damien is a child who sees and feels more than he says. Behind his silence lies a deep sensitivity — the kind of kid who studies people’s expressions, who notices what others overlook. He’s introverted but deeply perceptive, with a constant flicker of unease beneath his calm exterior. His Rubik’s Cube becomes both a distraction and a coping mechanism. What he’s exposed to shapes his entire future. A strong young actor is needed.
