Rosie O'Donnell's Incredible Search for 'America'

Emmy winner Rosie O'Donnell plays a therapist in the poignant new Lifetime Original Movie "America," about a teenager caught up in the foster care system, and she tells ET's Kevin Frazier the extraordinary story behind finding the film's lead! "We saw probably 200 kids for the lead role," the former "View" star explains. "We couldn't find him, because the boy needs to be vulnerable, fragile, wounded, broken and non-presentational." With less than a week to go before the film was to start shooting, the title role was still not yet cast and executive producer Rosie went on a scouting trip to a local Detroit area foster care home. While dining at a small restaurant, she saw Philip Johnson, a 17-year-old student lunching with his family.
