Forrest Goodluck (born 6 August 1998) is an American actor. He is known for playing Hugh Glass' son Hawk in the 2015 film The Revenant.
Early life
A Native American, Goodluck was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His father is a Navajo. His mother's ancestry includes Hidatsa, Mandan, Navajo, and Tsimshian.[1]
Career
Goodluck's first acting experience was during a sixth grade production of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" at his elementary school: later he performed in stage and theater productions in middle and high school.[2] At age 13, he auditioned for Native American director Chris Eyre's film Man Called Buffalo, which never made it to production, but did allow him to network with future casting directors. [3]
Goodluck auditioned for the part of Hawk in the 2015 film The Revenant when he was 15 years old.[4] The Revenant was his first feature film role.[5][6]
In February, 2016, he was cast to appear in a pilot for the Hulu drama, "Citizen" as Guero, a “wiry graduate of the streets who serves as the charismatic and bipolar leader of a group called ‘Baby Narcos.'” [7] In November 2016, it was announced Goodluck would star opposite Chloë Grace Moretz and Sasha Lane in The Miseducation of Cameron Post.[8]
