Nip/Tuck: 588:
--although JH is pushing 30, Matt is supposed to be 17 years old. He's a CHILD.
-Even though JH does a very good job with the role, this is why I feel the character was miscast. Subconsciously, if the audience was constantly reminded that Matt was a teenager, their veiw of him would be completely different. We wouldn't be counting up his bad acts v. Sean/Julia/Christian' s bad acts as we might in an adult relationship. It would also give added weight to the bad parenting of S/J/C which doesn't seem that faulty as long as Matt appears to the audience to be an adult.
I think that the most telling sign of this is that I am constantly asking myself why Matt doesn't just leave, and then I have to remind myself that he's 17. That should be the responsibility of the casting not the audience.


-Matt only wants his family when it's convenient for him. Then he gets pissed when he sees he can be replaced. With a much nicer kid BTW.
