Charles Saxton (born November 7, 1989)[1] is an American film, television, theater, and voice actor.
He had a supporting role as Bug, one of the band members, in Bandslam. He was featured in Hung, an HBO comedy-drama series, playing the son of Thomas Jane's main character.[2] He also provided the voice of Melvin in the video game Bully. He is the voice of Toby in Guillermo del Toro's animated series, Trollhunters.[3]
Saxton co-wrote and co-produced an independent film, Art of a Hit, with his Bandslam co-star Gaelan Draper in 2024.[4]
Saxton also portrays the wrestler "Lone Wolf" in The Wonder Years music video for "Melrose Diner".[5][6]
Currently Saxton is a member of My Chemical Romance's Long Live the Black Parade Tour ensemble, performing as the Clerk and the Clown on stage.[7]
Early life and career
[edit]Saxton began acting in commercials as a child, after being scouted at an audition he'd accompanied his older sister to.[1] Shortly thereafter, both Charlie and his sister began performing with their local theater company.
On his introduction to acting, Saxton has said: "My mother is an actress and my dad was a stage manager in Delaware, so I was sort of born into this whole society. When they asked me if I wanted to act, I said yes, so I could get out of school quickly."[1]
In 2003, Saxton made his Broadway debut in the revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.[8] A decade later in 2013 he starred in an Off-Broadway production of A Family for All Occasions, directed by Phillip Seymour Hoffman.[9]
