Naya Rivera’s son, who is 10 and will turn 11 on September 17, is taking an acting role in the film *The Burning Valley*, according to reports. The news comes about six years after Rivera’s death in a drowning incident in 2020.
The outlets say the boy’s role places him alongside his father, Ryan Dorsey, 43, in the same production. Both reports describe the casting as a step into acting after a significant period since Rivera’s passing, with attention also on Dorsey’s involvement in the project. Details about the character the child will play and the film’s broader production timeline are not specified in the provided coverage.
Overall, the coverage aligns on the central point: the 10-year-old is credited with a role in *The Burning Valley* and is linked in the reporting to his father, Ryan Dorsey, while context is given through the reference to Rivera’s 2020 drowning death.
