Here are the biographies of the characters in the 2003 making of Peter Pan!

Jeremy Sumpter- "Peter Pan"

Jeremy Sumpter was born on Febuary 5, 1989 in Monterey California. He was raised in the small town of Mount Sterling, Kentucky, until he was eleven, befor moving to Lexington, Kentucky, where he modeled and won IMTA's Pre-Teen Male Model of the Year award in 2000. Soon afterward, he signed with Mark Robert Managment and his family moved to Los angeles where he currently resides.

In July 2002, Sumpter, then 13 years old, was selected for the role of Peter Pan, breaking the long standing tradition of yound women playing the part in live acton movies. During filming, he grew eight inches, requiring some filming and staging tricks to conceal his height in scenes filmed late in production. Sumpter did nearly all of his stunts for Peter Pan himself. To prepare, he says he practiced sword fighting as much as five hours a day, as well as training in gymnastics and lifting weights.

He will be seen in a movie called "An American Crime" in 2007

Rachel Hard-Wood- "Wendy"

Rachel Hurd-Wood was born on August 17,1990 in London, England. She has had thoughts of becoming a marine biologis, until recently, when she became interested in working with children who have special needs of disabilites. She is currently a first-years student at Godalming College.

She doesn't have any movies coming out as of yet. :(

Jason Isaacs- "Hook" and "Mr. Darling"

Jason Isaacs was born in June 6, 1963 in Liverpool, Merseyside, in England and grew up in Liverpool. He had no early interest in performance at all. When he was eleven his family moved to London where he attended the Haberdasher's Aske's Boys' School and continually failed to get into the school play.

Jason had initially planned on becoming a lawyer and, in 1982, he entered Bristol University to read law. Feeling uneasy among peers "Who all sounded like Hugh Grant", he fell rather accidentally into acting in the first year of his law studies, stumbeling drunkenly into an audition for a part with "Northern accent required".

Although at first Isaacs became interested in acting in part because "It was a good way to meet girls", Jason soon found and addiction to and a deeper meaning in the theatre.

You my have seen the Harry Potter Series and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, well he was in both of thoughs as well. He did a really well job with "Peter Pan" as Captain Hook and Mr.Darling. Jeremy Isaacs is a great actor and will soon be in the movie called "Good" in 2008.
