Why didn't Terry age?
He looked exactly the same in the flashbacks as he did in "present day".
--No more "remakes"!!!!--
Because the makeup artist failed his/her job.

i think that he stayed the same age because this movie sux.
shareTerry doesn't age because he uses good moisturizer on his skin and stays out of the sun.......:)
shareSomething I picked up at the board of the first Pirates of the Caribbean-film: Adults doesn´t age like children who are growing, something like that, hence Captain Norrington looks not too different eight years later from the opening scene in that film. Must be the same with Terry!
shareWhen one ages only their mullet gets shorter.
shareBig oversight. He should have been made to look older or younger depending on the actor's age. I think Griff, the villain, looks a little more as if he aged, but even there, it's because he at least changed his appearance with hair and glasses. Older Griff also looked a little more grizzled, so maybe there was make-up involved.
That being said, it depends on which slice of someone's life you look at. When I was 28 someone told me she was surprised to learn my age because she had genuinely thought I was 18. Even in my early 30s people kept thinking I was in my early 20s. People do age at different rates. Some of us are just well preserved.
I believe that Terry somehow got ahold of and drank some of Warlow's blood from "True Blood," making him a daytime-living vampire. That's why he didn't age.
shareI was expecting him to be a ghost or something as a plot twist. Too bad it didn't work out that way.
Actually ..
maybe because the Annie's soul coexist with Joanna, Joanna still sees Terry as Annie saw him from her past.
Terry may have aged to everyone else but Joanna still sees him as him young self from all those years ago cos that's how Annie remembers him.
Maybe he has a really good plastic surgeon in La Salle, TX...lol. BTW, I think I am now dumber for having watched this movie.
You can't play a playa.share
How old was Terry supposed to be?
Joanna was eleven at the time of the accident, and approximately 26 in current time? So everyone would have aged 15 years?
The only physical difference I noticed in Terry was his hair. It was thicker and shaggier in the flashbacks and more styled and highlighted/tinted in the present. I think there was supposed to be an attraction between him and Joanna, so having him balding with gray hair (which would have differentiated his appearance from the flashbacks) would not have served the story. Not sure what else they could have done to age the character. Your thoughts?
That's because the actor that played him has barely aged in that period. 20 years ago, he looked pretty much the same as he does now:
This is him in Flying Doctors circa 1990

He also played Shane Ramsay in Neighbours before that.
They may not have done a good job with make-up but they did a good job with casting correctly. The age difference between Sarah Michelle Gellar and Peter O'Brien is 17 years.
