Connor Jessup On 'Falling Sky,' Working With Steven Spielberg

Connor Jessup, the young star of Steven Spielberg's new cult hit TV show, Falling Skies, a sci-fi drama on TNT about a world six months post-alien invasion, still has a hard time believing his luck. “I still remember one of the best moments of my life up until then was an email I got that said, ‘Steven loved your audition and wanted you in the pilot’,” Conner Jessup told Uinterview exclusively. “And that was like the holy grail.”

Jessup, who was born and raised in Toronto, landed his first real acting role on the Discovery Kids Channel TV series The Saddle Club. While Jessup was not present for most of the early filming of the first season of Falling Skies, he didn’t miss out on all the fun. Jessup admits that he's a lot like his character, Ben Mason, “bookish” and “heady,” and thankful for his experience working with his on-screen father, Noah Wyle of ER.
