Child Star Matilda Lawler (IT, The Ferryman, The Gilded Age) joins Behind the Awards for a look into what it’s like being a child actor and starring opposite Bill Skarsgard as Stephen King’s iconic character Pennywise.
Also in this episode - Review of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at New World Stages.
Matilda Lawler is a powerhouse young talent who has quickly become a standout in the industry for her ability to balance heavy drama with effortless charm. Most recently, she captivated audiences in the 2025 HBO series It: Welcome to Derry, where she plays the sharp-witted Margaret "Marge" Truman—a role that shockingly revealed her character as the future mother of the iconic Loser’s Club member, Richie Tozier. This gritty horror turn follows her critically acclaimed performance as Young Kirsten in the post-apocalyptic saga Station Eleven, her recurring role as Frances Montgomery in the lush period drama The Gilded Age, and her comedic stint as the no-nonsense elf Betty in The Santa Clauses.
