+304 It ruins the believability of movies and TV shows when 21+ year olds are cast as high schoolers, amirite?

But the acting will most likely be better.

It's just like in Percy Jackson, when the woman who played Annabeth was 23, playing a high-schooler who is suppose to be 12.

Only there's the fact that high schoolers are generally 14-18. But I see your point.

I mean, in the books Annabeth was twelve.

Michael J. Fox was 29 years old in Back to the Future III playing Marty McFly, Age 17. Except I think he actually pulled it off.

It's easier not to hire actual teenagers as it disrupts school. I read an article about it actually.

Well yeah you kind of stated that hiring teenagers would disrupt their school, yet not all teenagers are in school.

Obviously it can't disrupt school if they're not in school. Not everything needs to be spelled out. It was implied. Honestly.

I think 21+ can be ok (Allison Hannigan looked pretty young in Buffy) but 25+ gets to be annoying. Like in glee, I just keep looking at these people who are close to 30 and thinking "Really? That persons supposed ot be as old as me?"

The older daughter in modern family. She does still look that young though.
