Charles Saxton (born November 7, 1989) is an American film, television, theater, and voice actor.
He had a supporting role as Bug, one of the band members, in Bandslam. He was featured in Hung, an HBO comedy-drama series, playing the son of Thomas Jane's main character. He also provided the voice of Melvin in the video game Bully. He is the voice of Toby in Guillermo del Toro's animated series, Trollhunters.
Saxton co-wrote and co-produced an independent film, Art of a Hit, with his Bandslam co-star Gaelan Draper in 2024.
Saxton also portrays the wrestler "Lone Wolf" in The Wonder Years music video for "Melrose Diner".
Currently Saxton is a member of My Chemical Romance's Long Live the Black Parade Tour ensemble, performing as the Clerk and the Clown on stage.
Early life and career Saxton began acting in commercials as a child, after being scouted at an audition he'd accompanied his older sister to. Shortly thereafter, both Charlie and his sister began performing with their local theater company.
On his introduction to acting, Saxton has said: "My mother is an actress and my dad was a stage manager in Delaware, so I was sort of born into this whole society. When they asked me if I wanted to act, I said yes, so I could get out of school quickly."
In 2003, Saxton made his Broadway debut in the revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. A decade later in 2013 he starred in an Off-Broadway production of A Family for All Occasions, directed by Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
