As one of the young stars of Disney’s “Secrets of Sulphur Springs,” Johari Washington continues to leave his mark in history. The 11-year-old Dallas native plays the role of Topher Dunn in the popular series.

Campbell’s father Ben , takes his family, Sarah, Griffin’s mother, played by Kelly Frye, and their twins Wyatt and Zoey to live in The Tremont as they work to restore it to its heyday as a sought-after vacation destination.

It’s not until the Campbell family arrives that they begin to hear rumors about the hotel. On Griffin’s first day at his new school, he learns that The Tremont is haunted by the ghost of a girl who disappeared decades ago, Savannah, played by Elle Graham.

“We always knew we wanted to go back to the origin of The Tremont — the history of it, how it became the hotel and who’s haunting it,” said Thomson of the decision to travel back in time to the 1930s. “So, when we initially pitched the first season we knew that the second season was always going to be about the origin of The Tremont and it provided a great challenge to our production designer, our department, our entire crew to pull off these three different time periods. It also gave us the opportunity to examine life through a different lens — racial relations in the 1930s — what’s it like for a kid to grow up in a segregated south — what’s it like to be an adult in the segregated south.

“So, I think it’s something we really wanted to tell and touch on and how it affected our characters.”
