What do we know about Harold and the Purple Crayon?
First published in 1955, Harold and the Purple Crayon centered around the story of a four-year-old boy who, with the power of his crayon, created worlds around him. The book was then followed by six other books and was also adapted into a TV series by HBO in 2001-2002.
Levi is best known for his superhero role in DC Films’ Shazam! which grossed $365 million at the worldwide box office. He also first gained recognition as the lead star in NBC’s long-running spy comedy series Chuck which ran on air for five seasons from 2007-2012. For his performance in the 2016 play She Loves Me, Levi earned a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor in a Musical. He will next be seen in American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story, The Unbreakable Boy, and the highly-anticipated Shazam sequel.
