David Benjamin Dorfman (born 7th February 1993 in Los Angeles, California to
Jewish parents) is an American actor. His most notable role was as Aidan
Keller in the 2002 horror film remake The Ring, and its 2005 sequel The Ring
Two. Many kids, though, remember David Dorfman as the beloved character
"Charles Wallace" in the film version of A Wrinkle in Time.
Appearing in film and on television since at least the age of five, actor
David Dorfman has had the luxury of being in several high profiles series
and features at a very young age. Born in Los Angeles in February 1993,
Dorfman got his first role in 1999, playing the youngest child in the
Lifetime movie, “Invisible Child” (1999), starring Rita Wilson and Victor
Garber as parents forced to deal with their children’s slip into a fantasy
world that becomes emotionally taxing for everyone.

He next landed a recurring role on “Family Law” (CBS, 1999-2002) as the son
of a successful family attorney (Kathleen Quinlan) who loses her husband and
law firm after a divorce. Though landing a guest role on the popular Fox
series, “Ally McBeal” (1997-2002), it was his exposure on “Family Law” the
led Dorfman to be cast in features.
Dorfman made his film debut in the dark comedy-drama “Panic” (2000),
starring William H. Macy as dotting father and unhappy husband who visits a
psychiatrist for the stress built up from years of being an assassin. In
“Bounce” (2000), he played the son of Aby (Gwyneth Paltrow), who meets the
man (Ben Affleck) her dead husband exchanged airplane tickets with prior to
its fatal crash. By far, Dorfman’s biggest role was in “The Ring” (2002), an
unexpected hit remade from the Japanese “Ringu” (1998) by Hideo Nakata.
Playing the son of a Seattle journalist (Naomi Watts) who is haunted and
hunted by the spirit of a murdered girl and fearing she will die after
watching a surreal sepia-toned videotape, Dorfman more than held his own
with star Watts, emitting a cool and sometimes eerie maturity.
Next, Dorfman played another creepy kid in “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”
(2003), a rehash of the 1974 cult classic. In “The Singing Detective”
(2003), Dorfman portrayed pulp writer Dan Dark (Robert Downey, Jr.) as a
child in this musical-mystery based on the BBC miniseries of the same name.
After guest starring in a couple episodes of “Joan of Arcadia” (CBS, 2003-
), he played one of two children who travel through space on a quest to find
their father who suddenly disappeared in the Wonderful World of Disney
children’s fantasy, “A Wrinkle in Time” (ABC, 2004). Dorfman later revived
his role as the spooky son of Naomi Watts in the inevitable sequel, “The
Ring 2” (2005). Reviews were tepid at beast, with some critics calling the
movie boring, derivative and uninspiring, but Dorfman's acting skills
continued to show increased subtlety and maturity. |
