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.
DCU Lanterns follows Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and new recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) as they investigate a murder in the American heartland. The show promises a grounded crime story with a sci-fi edge rooted in the Green Lantern mythos.
We’ve been told the series is really good starts out grounded but leans heavily into sci-fi.
