Acting Career
Boorman got an early start in the film business appearing in films directed by his father: he first appeared in Deliverance (1972), played a young Mordred in Excalibur (1981) (joined by his older sister Katrine Boorman who played Ygraine, Mordred's grandmother), then in 1985 played a leading role in The Emerald Forest. In 1987 he had a non-speaking role as a young German Luftwaffe pilot parachuting into a small village in Hope and Glory (his sister Katrine also appeared in that film).
His more recent acting appearances include The Serpent's Kiss (1997) on which he met Ewan McGregor, and The Bunker (2001).

Famous quotes containing the words acting and/or career:
“I would rather miss the mark acting well than win the day acting basely.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
