THE NAUGHTY NINE - TALKING WITH WINSLOW FEGLEY
/Winslow Fegley is a rebel with a “Claus” - in his new Disney+ holiday movie, The Naughty Nine!
Just in time for the holidays, “The Naughty Nine” is the Disney Original Movie centered on a clever crew of enterprising kids who plot an elaborate at the North Pole. In the movie, mischievous fifth grader Andy (Winslow Fegley) finds himself without a present from Santa on Christmas morning.
Realizing he must have landed on the “naughty list” and feeling unfairly maligned, Andy pulls together a team of eight other “naughty listers” to help him execute an elaborate heist in Santa’s Village at the North Pole to get the presents they feel they deserve. Along the way, the group comes to realize that the very best way off the naughty list is to redirect their unique talents for good ― instead of mischief.
In addition to Winslow Fegley, “The Naughty Nine” features acclaimed actor Danny Glover (“Lethal Weapon”) in the role of Santa Claus, a wise and imposing figure with a twinkle of humor who is always one step ahead of Andy.
Winslow Fegley stars as Andy Steele, a clever and adventurous fifth grader with far too much charisma for his own good, in the Disney Original Movie “The Naughty Nine.” Fegley was most recently seen in Sony’s “Lyle Lyle Crocodile,” opposite Javier Bardem.
He was also seen as the lead in “8-Bit Christmas” for New Line and as the lead of the feature “Nightbrooks” for Netflix, based on the popular supernatural novel by J.A. White. He is best known for his break-out role as Timmy Failure in Disney’s “Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made” from Oscar®-winning director Tom McCarthy.
He previously also starred in the Disney Channel event series “Fast Layne.” Additional credits include the Focus Features’ horror film “Come Play,” opposite Gillian Jacobs, and the Neil Bogart biopic “Spinning Gold.”
