Over a year later, Toran starred in the light-hearted fantasy Johnny Mysto: Boy Wizard. In this film, aimed at a pre-teen audience, he plays the part of a budding young magician who stumbles across an unusual ring. He embarks on a medieval, time-travel quest to find his enchanted sister and ends up in Camelot before King Arthur. It turns out the ring belongs to none other than Merlin.

The actor/musician has also sung the lead vocals for several TV series and has appeared on stage as Oliver, Peter Pan and Li'l Abner. Together with Haylie Duff he co-wrote the song "Sweet Sixteen" on Hilary Duff's second studio album Metamorphosis.

Toran's father, Lane Caudell, is an actor/songwriter, who came to fame in 1978 when he starred as a charismatic lead singer in a rock quartet in the film Hanging on a Star. Toran’s mother, Mo, is separated from Lane.
