Or maybe all of them read the script and ran away screaming.
shareWhat's weird is Chenoweth signed on.
But, yay, this chick can still play a teen.

So if nobody told you that she was in her mid 20s and asked you or anybody that seen the movie to guess her age I think most people including myself would have to say 16-18 range.
I think she did an excellent job portraying this character.
Another actress that plays a lot younger character than her real age is Allison Lohman. Talented as well.
jjparish (Thu Feb 28 2013 13:55:01)Then you would probably have hated Gabrielle Carteris when she was in the original Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990). She was 29 playing a 16 year old. She really did look the part too.
Its pathetic and unreal. As an actress who is nearly 27 she should be ashamed to still be playing these infantile roles. Where is her ambition?

She is "barely legal" LOL!!!!
share16 year old actors are only allowed to work a maximum of about 6 hours a day, plus have to have a tutor on set, so in order to shoot longer days older actors are used.
it's not about there not being young actors, it's that using a young actress in a role with as much screentime becomes very tedious and severely limits the amount of time you have to work with them.
it becomes a necessity to hire slightly older actors to play the role. this film was shot on a rather small budget so they had to keep the shooting schedule as short as possible.
she is much more convincing as a 16 year old that many other roles i've seen. namely Tom welling on smallville
So just get an 18-year-old. lol.
This is almost as bad as Julie Benz milking the playing-a-teen for as long as she did.
Regarding Smallville, I haven't watched season 1 in quite a while, but I seem to remember them bing somewhat vague about the ages of Pete, Clark and others for the first season or two.

R.I.P. America, 1776 - 2008.
Cause of death: Suicide.
When I saw the trailer, she looked way too old to be 16. I understand in "High School Musical" she could pass, but not now.
shareShe was 24 at the time of filming, and age is just a number, anyway. I'm 4 years older than her and people I don't know think I'm 15 or 16.
-Dad, who's that?
-Oh, that? One of my patients. He's...sick.
-Will he live?
-It's looking grim.
People no longer ask me for ID now that my hair has started to turn grey. Used to annoy the hell out of me when I was younger, but when I turned 30 and people still thought I was a late-teen, it wasn't a bad compliment.
Unfortunately this mop on top of my head isn't playing along. If I don't watch it I'll reach the big Four Oh and people will ask me for my old age bus pass. Erk.
Point is - the age you look is a perceptual thing. Alyson Hannigan is only three months younger than I am, and how old was she when she was "in High School" for series 1-3 of Buffy?
last year I was in vegas and I was carded a few times in the casino while playing the slots to see if I was of age which is weird since I am in my 30's. I don't look that young but it was kind of funny
shareHeh. I'm 27. In my teens, I hated it when people called me "kid". The first time I got called "bro" was great. The first time I was called "mister", not so great. LOL Nowadays it's a compliment when I get mistaken for a university student. :P
shareHonestly I would have thought she was 18 or 19 until I looked her up. She definitely plays it off well enough for the role.
