He auditioned for a starring role in the feature film "The Rescue" and was ultimately cast as the heroic son of a captured Navy Seal. After shooting the film in New Zealand and Hong Kong, he moved to Los Angeles, where he has lived and worked ever since.Ned's rich career has taken him around the world, from submarines to mountaintops, but the role he cherishes most is that of husband and father.
