Allan Hubbard is a former child actor known for his role of "Sonny" in the Oscars-winning film Tender Mercies. He co-starred with actor Robert Duvall at the age of nine. After the film's release in 1983, Hubbard never appeared on screen again. Presently he is a Christian musician, guitar instructor and Biblical counselor at [1], residing in Texas with his family. Filmmakers visited several schools and auditioned many children for the role of Sonny before coming across Hubbard in Paris, Texas. Film director Bruce Beresford said Hubbard was chosen based on a simple, rural quality he possessed which filmmakers felt was appropriate for the part. Hubbard was able to easily relate to the character because, like Sonny, his father died at an early age; in fact, some later media reports would later falsely claim that Hubbard's father was killed during the Vietnam War, like Sonny in the movie.[1] Actor Robert Duvall, who played Hubbard's stepfather in the movie, developed a strong relationship and sense of trust with Hubbard, which filmmakers felt improved the duo's on-screen chemistry. Hubbard would often play guitar with Duvall during breaks from filming. Some time after work on Tender Mercies was finished, Duvall would surprise Hubbard by attending his tenth birthday, where he gave Hubbard his first guitar as a gift. Hubbard kept the guitar into adulthood and he said it helped inspire him to become a guitar instructor.[1] Allan Hubbard is currently Victim Witness Coordinator and spokesperson for the Lamar County Attorney in Paris Texas. He was at the heart of much controversy and civil rights protests when he defended Lamar County Judge Chuck Superville's decision to sentence a 14 year old black juvenile, ShaQuanda Cotton, to up to seven years in prison after being accused of shoving hall monitor, Cleda Brownfield, at Paris High School, while sentencing a 14 year old white juvenile to probation for a much more serious offense.[2] In October of 2009, Hubbard found himself in court on a contempt of court charge after being found guilty of accousting a defense attorney. Sixth District Court Judge Eric Clifford sentenced Hubbard to 20 days community service work at the Lamar County Animal Shelter and barred him from the 6th District Court. 1.[3] [4] Notes and references ^ a b Bruce Beresford (actor), Robert Duvall (actor), Horton Foote (actor), Gary Hertz (director), Allan Hubbard (actor), Tess Harper (actor).
