Bailey Hughes

Working alongside Oscar winner Marisa Tomei and Golden Globe winner James Franco, Bailey has experienced the art of storytelling on screen while avoiding the pitfalls often associated with the entertainment industry. Born and raised in Southern California, the straight-A honors student has managed to balance acting with academics, maintaining a normal childhood while pursuing his passion.

In his first role, Bailey was cast in a lead part by Carrie Ann Inaba, who directed and produced the independent film. That role led to more than twenty others, where he worked with Larry David, Jason Segel, Michael Rapaport, Charlie McDowell, and Marisa Tomei, among others.

Bailey was nominated for a Young Artist Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in *Good Time Max*, in which James Franco personally selected him to play a younger version of himself—a twelve-year-old genius with a rebellious streak.

Bailey has traveled to 27 countries with his family, exploring Europe, Africa, and Asia, with Dubai being his favorite destination.

During high school, Bailey continued to seek challenging acting roles while taking AP classes and aiming to graduate by his sophomore year. He plans to pursue acting alongside studying screenwriting and film in college, with aspirations to eventually write, act, and direct. For now, he says he can't imagine doing anything else.
