I am so sick of hearing 30 year olds playing teenage roles in movies/TV shows.

I mean what’s up with that? They’re old enough to play parents or teachers! I’m fed up with it! I understand that minor actors can work much hours as the adults but if the actors are 18-22 or 23 ish, then that’s fine but if you’re 24 and over, you’re too old. You had your chance, give the new generation a chance! It’s THEIR turn to shine! If you’re over 24 if 25, stop trying to book a teen role and go for the adult roles! Like in Grease, the actress the played Rizzo was 34!!!! She was old enough to play the teacher or could have played Rizzo’s mother. Way too old to play a teen! Olivia Newton John (RIP) was 29 or 30!! Some actors were 28-31 years old. John Travolta was about 23-24 ish so he was ok. The rest were like in their late 20s early 30s! That is ridiculous!!! Let 18-22 year olds play teen roles because they are fresh outta teen years.
Hey I’m just stating my honest opinion. Honestly it should be a fact. I’m 29 and I would reject the teen role. I would play the ADULT roles. You’re adults! Act like one! You’re not teenagers anymore!

I get what you’re saying, but considering the abuse that takes place in that industry, I think it’s probably better there are less kids available for roles.

@Colonelmustardseed Yeah that’s a good point. It’s sad to see younger actors get taken advantage off. They should wait until they’re at least 18.
