He’s been described as “simply adorable,” but 9-year-old actor Jackson Brundage is much more than that – he is one of the most intelligent and giving young actors in the industry.
Jackson is best known for his role as Jamie Scott on CW Network’s hit show One Tree Hill, but has also recently turned heads with a role on NCIS. And for the last two years, he has attended the annual CURED charity fundraiser for children with Eosinophilic Disease, held in Arlington Heights.
The disease is truly devastating – 1 in 1000 children suffer from it, and either get their nutrition from feeding tube or by drinking an amino acid formula. We were lucky enough to talk to this up-and-coming young star about his experiences of the charity event and his thoughts on making the world a better place.
What were the highlights of your day at the CURED fundraising event at Arlington Heights last week?
The CURED fundraiser was pretty awesome. There were a lot of people who attended again this year, even more than last year, along with items to bid for a silent auction. But some of the most memorable things was meeting some of the kids who are dealing with the disease and hearing their stories, as well as hearing from the doctors who are doing all they can to find a cure for Eosinophilic disease. While at the event, I had the opportunity to sign autographs, enjoy great food, bet on the ponies (shhhh, don’t tell) and met some really great people.
