Spotlight: Brock Pierce

Snakes and boxing gloves in the White House? No, the presidential race hasn't got that nasty. In the Disney film First Kid, the President's son plays tricks on Secret Service agents. The kid, played by Brock Pierce, just can't stand being surrounded by security guards.

Brock won his first movie role in an ice rink at 9, when his stellar hockey skills scored him a part in The Mighty Ducks. Now 15, he commutes between Minnesota and Hollywood. He dreams of working with actors Jodie Foster and Clint Eastwood. Would he like to be the real First Kid? "It seems like a tough life," he says. "I liked it for three months, but I don't know about four years!"
