Just two years after graduating from Dearborn High School, Sean O’Reilly, the son of Dearborn Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr., already is making a name for himself on the silver screen. Sean O’Reilly appears in two scenes in this trailer for an upcoming movie called “Whip It.”

The movie is about a young Texas teen, tired of being pushed into beauty pageants by her parents, who finally finds herself after joining a female roller derby team.

Directed by Drew Barrymore, Whip It is slated to be released October 9. In addition to Barrymore, the movie also stars Ellen Page, Zoe Bell, Marcia Gay Harden and Kristen Wiig,

O’Reilly can be seen, albeit briefly, in two scenes in this trailer. One where a teen is pouring water on two kids (he is far left on screen) and a second time in a restaurant scene where a group of teens are sitting in a booth (he is the second one from the right).

From the looks of the movie preview, this looks like a fun film made even more special because many of us can say we know a certain Dearborn High School graduate who appears in it. How cool is that?

Oh, yeah, and O’Reilly also is appearing in a second film called “The Irishman”. For a bit more on that film, please click HERE. We’d say quite an accomplishment just two years out of high school.
