Looking for leads to young British boy voice actors

I am starting work on an international co-production based in Amsterdam. The film is a medium-length animated film for children that is in English. The style is akin to Tim Burton doing a Grimm Fairy Tale, but it is far darker and more deeply layered. Or perhaps like Coraline, but more layered and peculiar.

The main character is a 10 year old boy named Willy. Willy looks a bit like Kurt Cobain, so it is not a role for anyone too "precious". Ideally we are looking for a young British voice actor. (No Dick Van Dyke hacking up a cockney accent a la Mary Poppins!!) They can be located anywhere, but, ultimately, it would be an attended session as this is the main character of the film.

While I am looking here in the states, I would love some leads to young boy voice talent elsewhere. Where in the UK can we look? Any Ex-Pats located in NYC, LA, Holland, _____?? Any leads would be appreciated.

The Monster of Nix

Thanks for the time!

Tom

I am neither young enough nor British, but the film looks very promising and I love the look of it. thumbsup I hope I get to see it after it is released next year.
