Pierce Gagnon (born July 25, 2005) is an American child actor, known for his roles in One Tree Hill, Looper, Wish I Was Here, and Extant.

Personal life

Gagnon was born in Atlanta, Georgia.[2] He has three younger siblings, including his brother Steele. He currently resides in Kennesaw, Georgia.

Career

After his film debut in the horror The Crazies, Gagnon portrayed Logan Evans, the son of Clay Evans (Robert Buckley), in season 9 of the CW drama series One Tree Hill.

In January 2011, he was cast in the action thriller film Looper as Cid Harrington, a child with unusual telekinetic abilities, who becomes a warlord called the "Rainmaker". Rian Johnson said, "Looking back I'm kind of terrified that I hinged the success of the backend of the movie on finding someone like Pierce. It's really rare to find a kid who can do what he does. He would do three-page dialogue scenes with Emily [Blunt] and Joe [Gordon-Levitt] and hold his own against them all the way through."[3]

After voicing Tiago in Rio 2, the sequel to the 2011 film Rio,[4] Gagnon played Tucker Bloom, the son of Aidan (Zach Braff) and Sarah (Kate Hudson), in the comedy-drama film Wish I Was Here.[5] He then starred as Ethan Woods, the android son of Molly Woods (Halle Berry), in the CBS science fiction drama series Extant.[6]
