A BUDDING Chadderton actor will be hitting computer screens as well TV.

The Chronicle recently reported that 11-year-old Bradley Phoenix is to feature in a Playstation football game advert with Man Utd and England star Wayne Rooney.

The schoolboy has now filmed another ad with two more stars that will feature in an internet campaign on YouTube.

He worked with actor and comedian Paul Kaye and former “Emmerdale” actor Seamus O’Neill on the humorous advert for Holiday Extras.

They all star as a family of down and outs living in a scruffy old caravan.

Mum Teresa, of Halbury Gardens, said: “It’s funny and it looks good but it’s just for the internet, which Brad has never done anything for before. Brad got on with Paul Kaye really well and he was really funny.”

Paul Kaye made his name as shock interviewer Dennis Pennis and has starred in films such as “Blackball” and “It’s All Gone Pete Tong”. Seamus O’Neill played John Wylie in TV soap Emmerdale.

Bradley, who is preparing to start at Our Lady’s High School, is on the books of agents Laine Management in Manchester and has already appeared in commercials for Asda, DFS and Morrisons. His sisters Gemma (24) and Deon (12), have also appeared in film and TV.
