Quinn Fagan

Quinn was born in Pasadena, California. Both his parents are lawyers, and he has two older brothers. From the age of at least 3, Quinn loved action heroes and dramatic play. He carefully keeps all his Halloween costumes and prefers costumes to other types of toys. He's accumulated a wardrobe of action figure costumes which he wears whenever he watches a movie about that action figure. In addition to dressing up like the main character, Quinn also reenacts the scenes and repeats the dialogue while watching the movie. Quinn's mother is a die-hard Star Wars fan. She let him watch some of the original Star Wars movie at the age of four. Quinn loved the character of Han Solo so much that he began to wear a vest, refer to the family mini-van as the "Millennium Falcon" and reenact Star Wars scenes involving Han Solo. At the age of 5, Quinn had an epiphany while watching a scene from the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark. Predictably, Quinn was fascinated by the character of Indiana Jones. He began to wear a hat, vest and carry his older brother's yellow karate belt as a makeshift whip. Then, one day, Quinn suddenly realized that Indiana Jones and Han Solo looked like the same person. This led to a father-son talk where Quinn's father explained that Han Solo and Indiana Jones looked alike because they were played by the same actor, Harrison Ford. When Quinn found out about actors, he decided that he wanted to be one. Quinn's preschool teachers encouraged his love of acting and allowed him to show up at school in various types of costumes. They developed his skills in class with theater productions and even a class movie. His parents eventually decided to indulge his interest in acting by taking him on some auditions. His first audition was in August 2011 and in September he was cast, for the first time, playing a part in the NBC television series Prime Suspect. In addition to wanting to be an actor, Quinn also wants to be an astronaut. So his parents and older brothers read him books on space science, visit the annual Jet Propulsion Laboratory Open House and try to spot the International Space Station whenever its orbital path takes it over the Los Angeles basin.
