SINGAPORE - Teen actor Jack Dylan Grazer has an impressive resume for one so young, but it was in the horror film It (2017) that he made his feature film breakthrough. Then came a major part in the DC Comics superhero movie Shazam! (2019).
In both these films - and in It Chapter Two, which opens on Sept 5 - Grazer plays kids with one thing in common: They speak a lot, and rapidly. It is a trait that the 16-year-old actor shares with the characters Eddie in It and Freddy Freeman in Shazam!.
