Miko John Hughes (born February 22, 1986) is an American actor known for his film roles, as a child, as Gage Creed in Pet Sematary (1989), as astronaut Jim Lovell's son Jeffrey in Apollo 13, as a child on the autistic spectrum named Simon opposite Bruce Willis in Mercury Rising (1998), and as Dylan (Heather Langenkamp's son) in Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994), as well as his recurring role as Aaron on Full House from 1990 to 1995.
Hughes was born in Apple Valley, California, the son of Mary (née Phelps) and John Hughes, a special effects technician (not to be confused with late Breakfast Club director John Hughes). He has three siblings: Mike, Mitch and Molly. He has Chickasaw Native American ancestry.
Hughes started his acting career in a public service announcement when he was 22 months old, and followed that up by appearing in his first feature film five months later. From his years as a child actor, Hughes was consistently one of the busiest young actors in Hollywood. One of his first films was Jack the Bear, opposite Danny DeVito; in addition, he has starred on film in Pet Sematary (1989), Kindergarten Cop (1990), Apollo 13 (1995), Spawn (1997), Zeus and Roxanne (1997), and Mercury Rising (1998) alongside Bruce Willis.
