Young actor Cary Christopher is the latest addition to the cast of the DCU Lanterns series at HBO.

Christopher to Play “Young Noah”

Christopher, known for Days of Our Lives and Mr. Mom, will appear as a guest star playing Young Noah. The character is described as a polite and gifted small-town kid who excels at everything he tries—especially tossing a football.
