Hanes Eighth-Grader to Be on Television Tonight

Britton Sear

Britton Sear, an eighth-grader at Hanes Magnet School, is in the episode of the NBC show Revolution that is scheduled to air at 10 p.m. Monday Nov. 5.

"We were pretty excited," his mother, Jill Sear, told Tim Clodfelter, a reporter for the Winston-Salem Journal. "He filmed about two weeks in Wilmington. He had some lines and should be in quite a few of the scenes."

The episode, called "The Children's Crusade," revolves around the characters in the science-fiction drama discovering a town populated by children. Britton is one of those children, named Skip.
