Bright was born in Victoria, British Columbia, the son of Anne Bright and James Crigger. [2] He was given his middle name "Douglas" after his maternal grandfather.

After a supporting part in The Butterfly Effect , Bright's first major role was in Godsend , a horror film co-starring Robert De Niro; the film was released in April 2004 to mixed reviews. In his next film, Birth , he played a ten-year-old boy who claims to be the reincarnation of a woman's (Nicole Kidman) deceased husband. Two scenes within the movie sparked controversy and drew media attention to Bright. In one scene, Bright and Kidman's characters kiss; in the other, the two share a bathtub. The actors wore pale beige-coloured swimsuits in the bath scenes and were never naked or filmed together in the same room at the same time of the bathtub scene, although this was not public knowledge at first.
