Fifteen-year-old comedian and actor Simon Cadel of Tarrytown stars in a new Family Channel television show called “The Wonderful Wayneys,” according to reports.
Cadel plays Emmett, the fifth child of parents Molly Ringwald and Jason Priestley, who is described on IMDB.com as a bit of a departure from the rest of the “perfect” family.
“What [Emmett] lacks academically, athletically or artistically, he makes up for with relentless enthusiasm and curiosity,” writes the situation comedy’s producers Aircraft Pictures.
