Benedict Cumberbatch Joins Cast of Gypsy Boy


A member of the National Honor Society while attending Crescent Valley High School, Cody Gotchall is now taking business and database courses at Linn-Benton Community College. When he isn't studying, Cody Gotchall enjoys watching his favorite TV shows and films. He counts Benedict Cumberbatch as his favorite actor.

A 41-year-old English actor, Cumberbatch has recently starred in films such as The Imitation Game and Doctor Strange. According to his IMDB page, he has numerous projects in the works to be completed within the next few years, one of which is Gypsy Boy, a feature film slated to be released in the summer of 2018. 

Based on the best-selling memoir of the same title, Gypsy Boy details the life of British activist and writer Mikey Walsh, who grew up in a Romany Gypsy family but found himself at odds with the culture as well as his father's expectations. The film adaptation of the memoir will be directed by Morgan Matthews and produced by Kevin Loader and Dee Koppang O'Leary. Cumberbatch has signed on to play Mikey’s father, Frank Walsh, who is torn between his love for his son and the traditions of his culture.
