Many of the actors in Peter Pan (American) were children. One of the young performers was Jeremy Sumpter. The guy played the main character of the picture - Peter Pan.
Jeremy's character is a boy who does not want to grow up. He lives in a country called Netlandia. It is magical, because getting there, children stop growing. Peng is the foremost of all forever young boys. Netland is also home to a wide variety of fabulous creatures, including mermaids. Also, Indians and pirates live there. Peter and his friends have been fighting with the latter for many years. Peng himself often appears in the ordinary world. There he finds other children who do not want to grow, and takes with him.
Since the filming of the project lasted long enough, many of the young actors of the film "Peter Pan" managed to change. Most of all, it was the performer of the role of a boy who forever remains a child. Jeremy grew twenty centimeters, so the decorators had to remodel the window frame four times so that Peter would not bang his head.

Continuing the list of actors and roles in the film "Peter Pan", it is necessary to recall the heroine of Rachel Heard-Wood. She played the role of the young Wendy Darling. The girl is the first child in her family, and she always helps in raising two younger brothers. She also loves to play Indians, pirates and read fairy tales with them.
One day, parents decide to talk with Wendy. They believe that the girl is already too old for such entertainment. She needs to behave very differently. In addition, the girl, according to her parents and strict aunt, should forget about the dream of becoming a writer, since with such a career it is very difficult to get married.
Wendy understands that she does not want to grow up, and one day she has the opportunity to translate this desire into reality. Peter Pan flies right into the window of her room with the real fairy Dinh. He offers young Darling, as well as her brothers, he will go to Netland. Only for this you need to be able to fly. Thanks to Ding's magic pollen, Wendy, along with John and Michael, takes off and sets off for Pan.
Very soon Wendy falls in love with Peter, and it seems to her that he reciprocates. However, soon the young girl is waiting for a huge disappointment.

Jason Isaacs
Among the actors of "Peter Pan" is Jason Isaacs. He immediately played two roles in the film - Captain Hook, that is, the main enemy of Peter, as well as the father of the Darling family. The tradition that one actor played these two roles was taken from theatrical productions of the story of the forever young boy.
Once upon a time in one of the battles, Peng chopped off the Captain's right hand. In its place, he inserted a hook, which gave the pirate a new name. Since then, the hero constantly wants to take revenge on Peter, and when he finds out that he made friends with Wendy, he decides to lure the girl to his side.
