Why Fulton Presley From We Have A Ghost Looks So Familiar

Starring an unstoppably ascendant Jenna Ortega and “Dance Moms” alum Maddie Ziegler, “The Fallout” chronicles the emotional aftermath several children experience after their school is attacked by a gunman. Niles Fitch also stars as Quinton Hasland, one of the traumatized survivors.

Throughout the film, Vada Cavell (Ortega) struggles to cope with her memories from the shooting, during which time she hid with Quinton in a cramped bathroom stall. With seemingly few options, Vada begins to medicate herself with drugs, alcohol, and sex, eventually leading to her failed attempt to kiss Quinton and their subsequent falling out.

The Hollywood Reporter lauded Fitch’s performance in the film, writing that he “conveys wrenching depths in Quinton’s silences as well as between the conversational lines,” while The New York Times praised his chemistry with Ortega. “I feel that today, [school shootings are] a new normal,” Fitch told Deadline. “We’ve seen kids come out and speak about it. We see their trauma played throughout media. For me, it was easy to tap into that.”
