Euan Morton is one of the classiest acts in show biz and his kid is cute and sounds like he can sing, expect to see him around a long time.

What I find really irritating and annoying or all these negative haters out here. I think it's refreshing to see a child so young totally enamored in theater. His mother said he wasn't even trying to become an actor then he booked the acclaimed series Big Little Lies. Now he's starring in Young Sheldon, a TV series that's very high profile.

if you don't like someone that's your right. Don't watch them. Why do you feel like you have to come on message boards and spew hate? Does that really make you feel bigger or something? He'll be working.

I bet having an actual British man play the King will add a fun dynamic

God, he's a little kid.  Leave him alone.  It takes a special kind of fuckhead to bully a child on the internet.

No one is bullying him... We are simply not fans and have the right to air that opinion. When you choose to put yourself and your work/reviews out there some people will love it some won't.

Incorrect.  These artists are people with feelings and I think we tend to forget this.  This artist happens to be a young child, which makes it especially bad.  It is fine to critique one's work, but calling a child "annoying" or "obnoxious" makes you an a**hole judging a child's character.  I just want you to imagine how damaging it would be were he to stumble upon this thread and see grown adults calling him annoying.  There is a line between bullying and criticizing and I think the minute that one begins to comment on a performer's personality, it enters the realm of bullying.

Precisely the reason why I am generally opposed to children being in the "spotlight" so much at young ages. Especially since I get the impression it wasn't entirely his own doing.

Love me some Euan Morton. Still mad I was too young for his Taboo and wish they'd bring it to Encores or something. I love the music. And he'll slay King George - and hopefully get a cute paycheck.

I found myself around Iain for about an hour when he was 3 years old. He had just seen a show, and was so excited and enthusiastic it was contagious. He also stood in the middle of the dressing room and sang an entire Sondheim number from beginning to end with such charisma I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Three. Years. Old.

It wasn't until a few theater reviews went viral I realized it was THAT Iain. This kid is the real deal. No pretense, and his enthusiasm and love for theater is real. 

Critique an acting performance, but not the character or personality of a kid just showing love for something he enjoys. If someone doesn't like his videos or whatever, scroll past. It *is* possible to dislike something or someone without sharing that opinion with the internet. Particularly when that someone is a young boy not hurting anybody.

Very excited for Euan to be back on Broadway. It's where he belongs. He's an incredible talent.

Iain is a great actor too. Very convincing in Big Little Lies and quite a departure from his personality.

From the statuses it seems like mom keeps his day to day pretty normal. However, I will say she can't possibly feign surprise that his star has risen. She has groomed him to perform since he was barely verbal and put him on camera and used her connections to get him access to the most high profile shows and people. The work has paid off, but this wasn't an overnight discovery type of thing.

He definitely has an advantage with being "connected" in regards to opportunity. However, my nephew is his age almost to the day, and I could have groomed him from birth and he wouldn't have had half the natural charisma, enthusiasm, and charm Iain does. And I love my nephew Connections only get you so far unless there is something else special there. That kid has the *it* factor that can't be taught.
