In that series, he portrays protagonist\u00a0<strong>Otis Milburn<\/strong>, a highschool student who sets up an underground sex therapy clinic. This series also features ex-FACTS guest Gillian Anderson, who portrays Otis&#8217;s mother. This series\u00a0is an international hit (Belgium&#8217;s 4th best watched Netflix title in 2019!) and its second season just premiered on January 17th, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Also in more recent productions, he shined as Calvin in\u00a0<strong>Then Came You\u00a0<\/strong>alongside <em>Game of Thrones<\/em> star Maisie Williams, as Jake in <strong>Miss Peregrine&#8217;s Home for Peculiar Children<\/strong>, as Ender Wiggin in the space action movie <strong>Ender&#8217;s Game<\/strong>, as Mars-born teenager Gardner Elliot in the romantic comedy <strong>The Space Between Us<\/strong>, as\u00a0Second Lieutenant Raleigh in the World War I movie<strong> Journey&#8217;s End <\/strong>and much, much more. Needless to say, he&#8217;s mastered\u00a0quite a few genres already.<\/p>\n<p>In his early childhood, he was Hugo Cabret in Martin <strong>Scorsese&#8217;s fantasy movie Hugo<\/strong>, the German child Bruno the Holocaust drama <strong>The Boy in the Striped Pajamas<\/strong>, Norman Green in <strong>Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, <\/strong>and Mordred in the popular fantasy show <strong>Merlin,\u00a0<\/strong>to name just a few.<\/p>\n<p>If you add it all up, he has acted alongside\u00a0an impressive amount of top-tier actors, but never in their shadow. The success of all of the above is just as much the result\u00a0of Asa Butterfield&#8217;s stellar performances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mr. Asa Butterfield will be available for photoshoots, signing sessions and huge Q&amp;A shows on Saturday April 4th and Sunday April 5th, in Flanders Expo, Ghent.
