<p>BIG STAGE

<p>Young Aussie actor Matt Walker has his fingers crossed about a couple of scripts in the US after his film debut with a star-studded cast.</p>
 
<p>Walker has now wrapped up filming on Children of Huang Shi in China with Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Bend It Like Beckham) and David Wenham.</p>
 
<p>"It will come out in about a month . . . David Wenham took me under his wing a bit, which was nice," said Walker.</p>

<p>But first the Aussie returns to the stage in Colder, Lachlan Philpott's play which considers events after a young boy goes missing from his mum in Disneyland.</p>
 
<p>* Colder, SBW Stables Theatre, Kings Cross, until May 24.</p>
