In "The Last Possession", a supernatural feature film which follows a family who has moved into the house of their late patriarch (Tom Proctor - Guardians of the Galaxy, Nashville), Sawyer's character, Jack Peroni, knows "there's no such thing as monsters," but begins to question, worry and experience extraordinary things as the events of the thriller unfold.

Sawyer first discovered his passion for performing in kindergarten while playing Ian in "Little Miss Olivia" on stage. Soon after, he began singing and dancing in musical theatre roles. At age seven years, Sawyer gave an award-winning performance as Gavroche in "Les Misérables", and went on to deliver compelling portrayals of Young Tarzan in "Tarzan"; Ugly, the lead role in "Honk"; Tiny Tim in "Scrooge"; and many others.

When the North Texas native is not acting, he enjoys making music, singing and playing guitar, hanging out with his friends, and mastering the latest video game.
