An aspiring young actor made his television debut over Christmas, appearing in TV trailers and a ‘making of’ documentary for the Sound of Music.
Zac Pile, 10, of St Albans, also served as the understudy to Kurt (the youngest of the Von Trapp boys in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical) in the live production aired on ITV on December 20.
A member of Theatretrain, the performing arts centre for six to 18-year-olds in St Albans for several years, Zac released a charity song with his brothers Finn and Josh to raise money for Syrian Refugees in October,
The video has been viewed nearly 1,000 times on YouTube and subsequent donations have totalled over £1100.
