General Hospital's Easton Rocket Sweda boards Greg Kinnear film The Present

Easton Rocket Sweda (Leo Falconeri, General Hospital) will star opposite Isla Fisher and Greg Kinnear in The Present, a family comedy about time manipulation.

General Hospital can look forward to seeing Easton Rocket Sweda (Leo Falconeri) on the big screen. The child star has been cast in a leading role in the family film The Present, which will also star Isla Fisher and Greg Kinnear.

"Finally, it can be revealed!" Sweda shared. "I'm a lead in my first movie!"

Written by Jay Martel and directed by Christian Ditter, The Present follows Sweda, Shay Rudolph, and Mason Shea Joyce as three children who desperately want their separated parents (Fisher and Kinnear) to get back together.

As described by Deadline, one of the children is a brilliant little boy who discovers he can manipulate time using a magical family heirloom, which leads him to team up with his siblings to travel back in time with the hopes of changing his parents' destiny. As the siblings' schemes become more elaborate, they learn about family bonds and what they can and can't control.

After Sweda broke the news about his new gig, the young actor's GH mom, Lisa LoCicero (Olivia Falconeri), cheered for her on-screen child, sharing, "You go, TV son! You got this!"

Sweda made his acting debut with the role of GH's Leo, which he's been playing since August of 2021. The Present, which recently began production in Los Angeles, marks his second-ever acting job.
