Breakout star Myles Truitt talks about landing the role of a lifetime in Lionsgate’s 'Kin'

One would think that working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood on your first feature film would be daunting. However, Truitt truly did have one of the best experiences.

Based on the short film ‘Bag Man’ by filmmakers Jonathan and Josh Baker, ‘Kin’ follows adopted brothers Eli (Myles Truitt) and Jimmy (Jack Reynor) who are being chased by a vengeful criminal and otherworldly soldiers, with a mysterious weapon of mass destruction as their only protection. The film also stars Dennis Quaid, James Franco, Zoe Kravitz and apart from Reynor and the newcomer Truitt.

Meaww got to speak exclusively with Truitt, Hollywood's newest breakout star. You will find that at just 16 years old, Truitt has already worked with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry.  In 2017 Truitt got his first break in television co-starring as Ronnie Defoe in the BET mini-series ‘New Edition,’ which was a three-night event chronicling the legendary music group, setting an all-time rating record for the network.  In 2017, he also appeared in Syfy’s original series ‘Superstition,’ as well as completing production on the film ‘Dragged Across Concrete’ starring Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn. However, his biggest and most important role to date is that of Eli in ‘Kin.’
