He appeared as George, Stuart Little’s brother in a 2000 film, Stuart Little, and its 2002 sequel, Stuart Little 2.

Like many other child actors, Jonathan focused his attention on school after his huge success, however, he admits that leaving acting for school was his biggest career mistake.

He couldn’t reciprocate the brilliance in acting to his schoolwork as he was often labeled, “lazy” and he later learned that he had dysgraphia, a learning disorder. 

He was even bullied during middle school, and he struggled with depression and anxiety. Also, he constantly suffered from panic attack for which he continues to seek treatment. 

As of now, he continues to pursue his acting career and has actually been involved in more movies and TV shows than he did as a kid.

His recent work was in the movies, Circus Kane and Andover. We can expect him to appear in more movies in recent future. 

While not busy acting, he practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai and spends time with his terrier, Denny. 

With his career in acting, he has accumulated a net worth of $5 million. Not bad for an actor, who hasn’t appeared in major movies and TV shows!
