Euwenn Mikaell Aleta (born 14 January 2013) is a Filipino actor. He is best known for his portrayal of the title character of "Tonton" in the drama film Firefly (2023), for which he won the Best Child Performer award, in the 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival making him the youngest-ever winner in that category.[1] For that same film, he also won the 72nd FAMAS Awards on May 26, 2024, 7:00 p.m., at the Fiesta Pavillon, Manila Hotel for Best Child Actor,[2]his fourth major award[3] in just six months, after winning the 2024 Box Office Entertainment Awards as Most Popular Child Performer of the Year.

Aleta breathes life to Firefly creating it as an ode to courageous storytellers.
