At 14 years of age Clark Furlong is just getting started in what appears to be a very successful career in Hollywood. Best known for his portrayal of young Jules, a transgendered woman on the hit HBO series Euphoria,Clark has also appeared on shows like The Prodigal Son, The Rookie, and High Fidelity. 

The talented young actor will next be seen on the new Apple+ series Lisey’s Story based on the best-selling novel by Stephen King and adapted by King. In addition to Clark, the series stars Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and many others

Right off the bat, I was impressed by Clark’s maturity. I got the sense the young man was aware of the struggles faced by childhood actors and was doing all he could to stay grounded. Taking care of his family’s chickens, goats, and donkeys on the family farm in Virginia seems just as important to him as a television role. 

While this episode is a celebration of Clark’s work, a special shout-out goes out to his mother. Parents have a hard enough time getting kids to soccer practice at the local park, yet his mother drives him several hours to auditions and meetings with studio executives. Even more importantly, listening to Clark gave methe sense he truly appreciatesthe sacrifices made by his family as he pursues a career in acting. 

It’s hard not to root for this young man and I look forward to seeing where his career takes him. Hopefully, we will see more of Clark on television and film for years to come, 

Lisey’s Story premieres on June 4 on Apple+

I provide testosterone to the site. You won’t be reading about how nice a actress looks in a dress or how much of a hunk Matt Bomer is in my reviews. I describe colors using words like brown, not taupe. My twitter name is @staffaroadtrip because I love road trips and have done two different 48-state road trips since 2008. My favorite show is White Collar.
