The show runner for Mad Men cast his own son as 'Glen', and that kid was a terrible actor (he's an adult now obvs, so I consider his performance fair game for criticism).
I would've suggested the girl sally. They clearly wanted a teenager to go through the 60s but the actress ended up looking permanently 13.
Still looking 13 in Sabrina.
Why wouldn't a kid's performance be fair to criticize? It's not like we're harassing them on social media.
It's usually best to given 'em the benefit of the doubt, as a bad performance by a child actor is often more due to the director than the kid.
