How old are the kids?


The kids look to be about 14 or older. I looked at the profiles , some have little or no acting expirience . I think it's awsome when kids get their big break on PBS like with Zoom . it's a good start and a good way to stay out of the tabloid crap . I have never heard a single bad thing anywhere in major news about anyone on PBS . there are websites making fun of zoom in kind of harsh way but not that bad. But my point is it's more low key.

I stumbled upon this show one day when finding Authur . It only airs on friday on my pbs station . I didn't really look into it .
I later found out that the orignal is how Morgan Freeman and Bill Cosby got their big break.

I saw previews on You Tube of both. Sounds really neat. Almost like Between the Lions but with style.

I am 23 and I strongly believe that Music and comedy should be incorperated. That's how I learned a lot of the important stuff . I have a learning disability that caused a big delay in reading and math and it clicked when it was put to music. I remember jumping on the bed to a song with the short i sound . Because I was happy it clicked.

Actually Bill Cosby was well known long before TEC and I don't think Freeman didn't really got to be a hosehold name till years after TEC.

teens/early 20's by the looks of it

reply

Well teens yes but if they were in their early 20s, they wouldn't qualify as kids.

I think jessica and keith are the only ones who would be considered kids on the show

The actor who plays Hector turns 23 this summer and Lisa is clearly around the same age.

reply

Unless it's a typo, the actor who plays Danny Rebus just turned 30.

I'm thinking Sandie Rosa (Annie Scrambler) and Ashley Austin Morris (Francine Carruthers) are probably the same age as Josh Segarra (Hector Ruiz). Sandie may be just a little bit older.

Chris Sullivan (Shock) is probably the same age as Sandie, Ashley and Josh.

I think Shock may be 30-31. Here are the cast bios (didn't check to see the ages of all). http://www.sesameworkshop.org/inside/pressroom/tec/cast. According to this site (regarding Chris Sullivan), "His musical influences include The Beastie Boys, Tribe Called Quest, and De La Soul, leading him to experiment with hip-hop and beatboxing in his high school rock band and other musical collaborations until graduation in 1997." I do think I remember reading somewhere that Hector is 23 and Lisa is 26.

reply

Yep. Hector (Josh) is 23 (born in 1986).

Thanks for the link, esahome.

With regards to Jenni Barber:

Barber continued to study dance, music and acting all through elementary, junior and high school with the goal of attending college to major in Musical Theatre. After graduating from high school as salutatorian, Barber achieved that goal by being accepted to the highly selective Musical Theatre Department in the School of Music at The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
