Quarantime (2020), Wicked Wicked West (2020), and Pieces (2020).As a
child actor, Faerch was cast in the Halloween remake as a young
Michael Myers, performing his own stunts. Faerch's performance as the
murderous young Myers was met with positive reviews. KPBS said of the
young actor: "Daeg Faerch is key in making these early scenes work. He
delivers a truly chilling performance as a surprisingly sweet, soft
and feminine looking ten-year-old Myers. His physical appearance
contrasts with his brutal actions and it's only in his eyes that you
perceive his true nature...Faerch’s Myers can be like a normal kid
one minute and a monster the next." Although Faerch was initially
signed on to reprise his role as young Michael Myers in the sequel,
Halloween II (then known as H2), after filming briefly in Georgia as
young Michael he was later recast because he had grown taller. He was
replaced by Chase Wright Vanek.Faerch has a comedic role as a
character named Michel in Peter Berg's 2008 Will Smith film, Hancock,
where he plays a French American neighborhood boy who swears at Smith
and is thrown into the sky by the titular superhero for insulting him,
but falls back to earth unharmed with Hancock catching him.Faerch's
other projects include the thriller Sebastian in the title role, which
also features his mother; the Christmas comedy Wreck the Halls
starring Mickey Rooney as Santa Claus; the short film "Suffer the
Little Children", based on a story by Stephen King co-starring his
mother. Faerch also performed in 2008 episodes of the TV show Pushing
Daisies, as a German schoolboy. He also recently co-starred as a
homosexual young man named Jesse in the award-winning short film,
Mental. On April 14, 2012, Faerch's 2010/2011 film Sebastian premiered
at the Independent Film Quarterly (IFQ) Film and Webisode Festival,
its only screening, where it also won Best Sci-Fi Feature.
