Jonathan A. Jackson

as 3 year old Will Bloom

(uncredited)

 Jonathan was 5 years old during the filming of "Big Fish". He auditioned when he was 4 years old in December 2002 at a casting call at the old Cloverdale High School in Montgomery, Alabama.

The original scene was to be 3 year old Will and Edward outside the Bloom trailer but heavy rains flooded the set location and the scene was shifted to the second one in the movie where Will is in bed listening to his Dad tell the story of the day he was born.

Jonathan's twin brother, Christopher, also auditioned for some possible scenes riding tricycles/bicycles but wasn't included in the final film. He was on set as his brother's stand in.
