Young actor to be on ‘Private Practice’
Joey Luthman, 12, who got his start in Dayton area theater and has racked up roles in more than two dozen independent films, will appear in the Thursday, Nov. 19, episode of the television series “Private Practice” (10 p.m. ABC).
He plays Evan Dawson, the same character he played in a previous episode, which earned him a 2009 Young Artist Award.
“Evan is a diabetic and formerly homeless boy who was kidnapped by his dad from an abusive boyfriend of his mother,” said Joey. He’s a sixth-grader at a school in Studio City, Calif., “which is really cool because it’s for actors and athletes who need to be dismissed early for rehearsals and auditions. The school day is from 8:45 a.m. to 1 p.m.,” he said.
He said it was “great” to get the chance to do another episode on “Private Practice,” adding that a recurring role may be a possibility. “It’s a lot of fun working with everyone on the set.”
The son of Tess and Rick Luthman will also be seen as Dave in the Nickelodeon movie “I Quit iCarly” at 8 p.m. Dec. 5.
