Early in the movie, Dani is a bit of a tomboy. Then, when I tested her in Santa Monica, a strange breakthrough took place. I couldn’t tell whether she could act or not, but she’s got a wonderful face and there’s a brightness and intelligence there. When I saw Reese’s test, she just jumped off the screen, simply as a personality. “We had a casting team that went out and saw several thousand kids and tested them on video. Just 14 years old when she auditioned for a part as an extra in the coming of age drama film, her audition impressed director Robert Mulligan and she was offered the central role of tomboy Dani Trant.ĭirector Robert Mulligan admitted it was a risky decision to cast the Louisiana-born, Tennessee-raised actress in The Man on the Moon.

It was February 2016 and spring hadn’t officially kicked in yet, but “The Man in the Moon” actress Reese Witherspoon didn’t seem to notice when she stepped out to run some errands in Santa Monica.
