Eleven-year-old Guylan from Upton, Massachussetts looks up to Fidel Castro as an admirable world leader and gives importance to environmental issues such as pollution. A member of Burrillville Fencing Club, Uxbridge Fife and Drum Core, he enjoys playing the video game Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy and reading books such as The Hitchhiker's Guide o the Galaxy and the Calvin and Hobbes comics. His favorite movies include Hitch, The Pursuit of Happyness, Star Wars trilogy, Dragonheart, Big Daddy, Meet the Fockers and Spiderman.
Guylan is featured on CBS' Kid Nation, where 40 kids are sent to Bonanza City, New Mexico to build their own kids-only society. For forty days, the children are to live like adults--work and govern the society as if it were a real world one, with its own economy and regulations. Every three days, the little town would hold a meeting to discuss issues and award an outstanding kid with a gold star worth $20,000.
