He has a good look for Peter, but he’s 34 now, I’d hope for someone at least 10 years younger.
I know he’s that old in real life, but my point is he has a younger look to him that it might not matter so much on camera. He looks younger than the guy who played Felix, and that actor is like 25 after all. And we had Jennifer Morrison and MRJ play their characters 10 years younger than they were supposed to be in “Manhattan”, not to mention Lana Parilla playing an 18 year old or so version of Regina. I agree overall that an older actor who can play a younger character well would be better than casting someone younger, since this role requires major acting abilities. Not that a child actor couldn’t handle the role, but convincingly playing that type of character is asking a lot. Plus, as someone has probably said before, child labor laws in terms of limited filming time per day are a pain to deal with.
