Seriously, how much would the studios pay to be able to screen child actors before signing them to multi-picture deals. Not to prevent them from hiring people who are likely to self destruct, but to stop casting "errors" like this one.
The young man in the photo was cast, lo those many moons ago, to play short, thickset nebishy Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films. Oops. One can only wonder why Hermione isn't falling all over him? (Not that Emma Watson isn't turning into quite the little heart-breaker, but at least Herminone is supposed to clean up real purty like in book 4.)
So seriously, let's see the science establishment and the entertainment industry go hand in hand on this one, giving those of us who were genetically predestined to turn into short, thickset nebishes a fair shot at the silver screen!
