Avri Downey Reportedly Cast in Small Role on Favreau-Linked Oswald Series

Entertainment outlets say the 11-year-old is listed as a background 'Family Photo Kid' for a likely Jon Favreau Disney project while studio and reps have not confirmed the casting.

Overview

  • Multiple entertainment outlets report that Robert Downey Jr.'s daughter Avri has been slated to film a small television role described in credits as 'Family Photo Kid.'
  • The casting has been tied by reports to Jon Favreau's animation/live-action project about Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, which Deadline says Favreau is writing and producing for Walt Disney Studios.
  • TMZ published a deal that it says was signed last year and reported a one-day pay figure of $1,246 for Avri, which suggests a brief on-camera appearance rather than a featured part.
  • Neither Walt Disney Studios nor Downey's public representatives have publicly confirmed the role, and the available details come from entertainment-industry outlets that sometimes publish contract items before official announcements.
  • The report follows a pattern of small family cameos by Downey's children and comes as context for Favreau's long professional relationship with Robert Downey Jr., while Oswald remains historically notable as a precursor to Mickey Mouse.
