TVI Member Caleb Campbell plays Backup Detective #1 in the crime drama staring Angelina Jolie and directed by the man himself, Clint Eastwood. Inspire by actual events in 1920’s Los Angeles, “The Changeling” tells the story of a woman driven to confront a corrupted LAPD after her abducted son is retrieved and she begins to suspect that the boy returned to her is not the same boy she gave birth to. I saw the movie this past weekend and was excited to see Caleb in his period detective garb. Kudos to you Caleb, nice work.
