Toronto, Canada (CNS) - Canadian actor Quinn Lord will be making his debut at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival in September. The 10-year-old will be taking the festival by storm, appearing in two films for the festival.

His first film to debut at the fest will be "The Hole," directed by Joe Dante and starring Nathan Gamble and Haley Bennett. It will screen on September 12.

His second film to debut will be the highly anticipated "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus." The film was directed by Terry Gilliam and stars Christopher Plummer, Tom Waits and Heath Ledger, along with Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell taking on Ledger's character due to his death one-third of the way through filming.

Quinn shares, "I really loved playing my character in 'The Hole.' It's totally opposite to who I really am, so it was a challenging role, but crazy, fun and a challenge. It's pretty cool that it is in 3-D and a thrilling family film like one of my favorites, "The Goonies!" I am so excited to have two different films at the film festival, and I am really looking forward to seeing them both.

Quinn's other film credits include over twenty-five film and television productions including "Stargate SG-1," "The L Word," "Supernatural," "Things We Lost in the Fire" and "Deck the Halls."
