Ben O’Brien, a young actor hailing from New England, US, made headlines recently when he was announced as one of the four new leads in Goosebumps: Horrorland, the upcoming sequel to 2015’s horror-comedy Goosebumps, set for an October release.

Although little is known about the plot so far, the new film is expected to be a box office hit, with O’Brien sure to be propelled into the spotlight as he joins an ensemble cast including Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’s Madison Iseman, It star Jeremy Ray Taylor, and Bridesmaids actress Wendi McLendon-Covey. This will be the young actor’s first lead role, after appearing as a young Patrick in Kenneth Lonergan’s Oscar winning film Manchester by the Sea in 2016.
