“A lot of the time with child actors, you get the feeling they’re trying to have a kind of poise or presentation that’s beyond their years that might be put on, but also might be because they’ve spent years just hanging out with adults and they don’t even have a sense of what it’s like to grow up with kids their own age.” TryingYearsKindChildrenFeelingsMightKidsAgeActorsGrowsGrowing UpAdultsHanging OutPresentationPoiseChild Actors Author:Alessandro Nivola
