Rita Jagpal-Mohan and her 10-year-old son Reece, have tasted success in America’s movie capital with their series of short films. Acting alongside his mum, at the age of six, Reece made his debut as the Wheel Gone Kid. Winning over 30 awards at film festivals around the world and attracting media attention from national TV and radio, more films and a trip to Hollywood followed.

Mum Rita, said: "After going on a tour of celebrity homes in Beverly Hills, we thought it would be fantastic if we could get a famous name to appear in our next Wheel Gone Kid film. When our producer told us he had managed to get Neil Warnock to play a part we were over the moon. Reece is a massive football fan."

Currently in post-production, the record breaking football manager plays a chief inspector in their new comedy film.

Rita added: "Neil was wonderful to work with. He is such a lovely person and a natural actor. Audiences will love his character."
