Forrest Deal is best described as an anomaly when it comes to child actors - a deviation from - or more like a sharp left turn at 80 miles per hour - from the common stereotyped child actor mold. Forrest landed his first speaking role less than 8 months after his first taste of acting when he played a bully by the name of Oliver in the short film Us Against the World produced by Andrea Kuehnel. Forrest landed the role of Rudy Sanders in Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors in 2015, that went on to set records in the Television Movie history. Forrest was born and raised in a small town in Alabama as a true country boy. Hunting, fishing, dirt-bikes, tractors, and baseball are all a part of his daily life activities. He could drive a manual shift truck before he started first grade. Forrest 'accidentally' found he had a love for acting and that has only added to the diversity of Forrest's life. After attending a few classes and workshops he was hooked and excited to see where the journey could take him - starting with his acting classes at the University of Alabama's Theater department, workshops with incredibly talented mentors, a private on camera acting coach who Forrest considers his 'secret weapon', and finally on set "real life" acting. Forrest is a rare gem, red heads with blue eyes make up less than 1% of the population. Forrest is like finding a four-leaf clover and he says he hopes this will bring him continued good luck and success as he follows his passion. Hide
