Good Boy!
"Liam Aiken, whose roles in "The Road to Perdition" and "Stepmom" were the kind that inspire people to claim some kids have an "old soul."- Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
"Aiken's heartfelt loneliness and need for Hubble in his life is tactile. He has a fantastic face and he carries this movie on his little 13 year old shoulders with aplomb."- Karina Montgomery, Cinerina
"Young lead, Liam Aiken. Most familiar to moviegoers from playing the youngest son of Tom Hanks' character in "Road to Perdition," Aiken seamlessly interacts with "Good Boy!'s" talking canines at a deeper level of feeling than the film itself achieves, and the character notes he hits are flawless."- Kim Williamson, Boxoffice Magazine
“I was incredibly blessed . . . Liam is an amazing,talented actor and very professional young actor.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when he came onboard.” - John Hoffman
“Liam is just a wonderful actor. He is so natural on camera, yet he is a complete professional about his work. When he has to play scenes with Hubble and the other dogs, you see the dailies and absolutely believe the dogs are talking to him. He’s listening, reacting, concentrating – that’s pretty hard, even for an adult who’s been doing acting for years!” - Lisa Henson,Good Boy! Producer
“We looked a really long time to find Liam. We foundhim rather late in the game and were blown away whenwe saw him. He is soulful; he’s got the most soulfulface I have ever seen. He’s very experienced but he’svery natural, too. He is so professional he can get itright in very few takes even under the most difficltof circumstances, with trainers all shouting at thedogs and chaos all around.”- Kristine Belson, Good Boy!Producer
Road to Peridtion
"He is very intelligent and has a great sense of humor. He listens very carefully and responds to what the other actors are giving him, which is a sign of a born actor, in my opinion. What was really interesting about both Liam and Tyler Hoechlin is that they came in for two weeks of rehearsals with Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jude Law, Jennifer Jason Leigh…and didn’t bat an eyelid. They were there every day with the ‘heavy hitters,’ patiently watching and listening to every scene being rehearsed, so they were part of the fabric of the movie from a very early stage."- Sam Mendes
"He’s a real professional at a very young age. He’s just a remarkable young man…very impressive."- Richard Zunuck, Road to Perdition producer
Stepmom
"The moment Liam stepped in the room, I knew our search was over. Liam was adorable, mischievous,
funny, smart, and most importantly, real. His reading of the film’s final scene was heartbreaking. We had our Ben."- Chris Columbus (Stepmom)
Sweet November
Reeves also reveals his soft side when he talks about working with a child actor, 11-year-old Liam Aiken, in "Sweet November." "It was really nice," Reeves recalls. "There was this scene that's not in the film now. Charlize and I are in bed sleeping, and he comes into the apartment to show us some toys that he made. And I remember being a kid his age and walking into my mother's room. And I was the guy that that kid saw, and it was just a funny moment. It made me kind of realize that I'm a man, I could be a father. I could be that role."- Keanu Reeves
Other
"Prior to casting, British actor Gabriel Thomson and American Liam Aiken were seen as likely choices. "- PARADE Magazine
