The actor's work - it is a constant transformation in the different images, it is far from the "original". That is, the actor has to play people who do not like him, not only in character and appearance, but also by age. But talent is subject to all. And the more complex the task, the more interesting. When we watch movies, we sometimes do not even notice that the actor is actually much older than his on-screen character - so good his game.
But today we deliberately pay attention to the age of the actor and his character in our favorite films. For example, 32-year-old Tom Hank's movie "Big" had to play 12-year-old boy who unwittingly found himself in the body of an adult male, and, as we know, he brilliantly coped with task. By the way, for this role, he got his first "Golden Globe" and a first nomination for "Oscar".
