Isaiah Russell-Bailey as Caleb Channing
Isaiah Russell-Bailey plays Caleb Channing in 'Crater'. Brought up in a lunar mining colony, Caleb is to be relocated permanently to an idyllic faraway planet after his father dies. Caleb embarks on a final adventure with his friends to discover a mysterious crater to fulfill his father's dying wish. Bailey is best known for playing Shaka in the Netflix series 'Family Reunion' and has starred in minor roles in several TV shows and movies, including Netflix's superhero movie 'We Can Be Heroes'. His on-screen debut was in the 2018 episode ‘Miasma’ of the television series ‘Criminal Minds’. One thing that sets Russell-Bailey apart from his fellow teen actors is his indulgence in stunt-making art.

Thomas Boyce as Marcus
Marcus, one of Caleb's friends, joins him on the quest to explore the mysterious crater. Thomas Boyce, who plays Marcus, made his debut in a local theater at the age of eight and naturally took to acting and entertaining.
