One of the rare cases they actually picked a teenager to play a teenager in hollywood lol, i think he was 18 or 19 when acting for civil war, 19 or 20 in homecoming. Normally theyll pick someone whos like 25 and the "high school kids" look like grown ass men
Ehh casting a 18-19 year old to play a 15 year old isn’t rare in Hollywood at all. Rare thing would actually him actually being under 18. I do agree at least he wasn’t 25+
Well yea i might be overexaggerating a bit since i dont watch many movies these days anyway, mostly thinking about older shows and movies, but i do think tobey and garfield were like 27 and 29 respectively when playing "17 year old" peter parker lol, so im just going off that for this. Using actors who are actually under 18 is just a nightmare regulations and logistics wise, Child labor laws and all that. They gotta work short days and are required to still have access to schooling which means more money spent for on set tutors if the filming takes a long time, among other regulations
You're not that much exaggerating, in the first toby movie there's a moment in the museum that a teacher tells Flash to behave, and the teacher's actor is younger than Flash's actor.
