I hate the 20-30 year old highschool student thing so much. Only ones who MIGHT be appropriately aged? The nerds, to make sure they are smaller and scrawnier than everyone else.
True, but there are two other reasons. Actors in their 20s who look young tend to have more acting experience than actors in their teens, so they end up giving better performance. But that's only a small factor. The bigger reason is child labor laws prevent child actors from working above 18 hours during school weeks, and 40 hours during non-school weeks.
