Jonah Bobo Movies: Screen and Voice Credits
Jonah Bobo is an American former child actor whose recognizable films include Zathura, Crazy, Stupid, Love. and Martian Child's era of family-oriented cinema. He also voiced Austin in the children's animated series The Backyardigans. His screen and voice work are worth separating because not every performance shows his face.
The movies viewers usually mean
In Zathura (2005), Bobo plays Danny, the younger of two brothers who find that a board game has transformed their house into a dangerous outer-space adventure. The film pairs child actors with physical effects and visual spectacle, making the relationship between the brothers central to the story rather than a minor subplot.
In Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011), he plays Robbie Weaver, a teenage boy whose feelings and family situation provide one strand of the ensemble romantic comedy. The character is different from Danny in Zathura in both age and tone, despite the relatively short span between releases. The film has a large adult cast, so it helps to identify the precise role rather than call him the movie's sole lead.
Other film credits include Around the Bend, Choke and Disconnect. They demonstrate that his appearances were not limited to children's adventures. Some credits are supporting parts, and a full chronological list should distinguish those from major roles.
Voice acting in The Backyardigans
Bobo was a voice of Austin in The Backyardigans, an animated preschool series built around musical adventures. Since several children voiced the characters over the program's run, a question about one episode may require checking that episode's credit. The character Austin is a fictional purple kangaroo; Bobo's voice role does not mean he appears as a live-action performer in the program.
How to browse his work
Choose Zathura for his clearest adventure-film lead and Crazy, Stupid, Love. for a later ensemble comedy performance. The Backyardigans is the best starting point for those curious about his voice work. Credits and streaming rights can differ by market, so look for a specific title and release year.
