Having made his acting debut at the age of 13 with the 2015 fantasy film Pan, Lewis McDougall is a Scottish actor, who was also seen in the 2016 movie A Monster Calls.

Early Life
Born on the 5th of June, 2002 in Kingsknowe, Edinburgh, MacDougall`s father is a retired banker while he lost his mother to multiple sclerosis in 2013. He attended the Currie Community High School in Edinburgh, and was an active part of a local drama group called The Drama Studio, where he was allowed to improvise rather than performing scripted scenes.

Movie Career
MacDougall auditioned for the lead role of Peter Pan in the 2015 fantasy movie Pan, which eventually went to Levi Miller. He, however, bagged the role of Peter`s best friend Nibs in the movie, which also starred Hugh Jackman, Garrett Hedlund, Rooney Mara, and Amanda Seyfried. The movie opened to mainly negative reviews and was panned by the critics owing to its poor casting and lack of originality. Following his high-budget yet commercially unsuccessful debut, MacDougall was seen in the 2016 fantasy drama A Monster Calls alongside Sigourney Weaver, Felicity Jones, Toby Kebbell, and Liam Neeson. The movie opened to positive reviews and was praised by the critics, with his performance in the movie winning him several nominations. His 2017 projects include the road trip drama Boundaries, which co-stars Vera Farmiga, Christopher Plummer, Bobby Cannavale, and Kristen Schaal, and the drama thriller In the Belly of the Whale directed by Steven Doxey.
