      I realize they could not have possibly predicted what he would look like as an adult, but they couldn’t have gotten it more wrong if they had tried.

        Agreed, it’s so far off the mark that it’s distracting. At least they cast someone older? Maybe they were in a rush and had no time, I know tv series filming can have crazy tight deadlines.

        Has anyone done anything (serious or meme) about bad Trek casting decisions? I get the feeling Wesleyan Crasher would be at the top of the list.

          The problem with bad casting decisions is… was it the casting or was it the character. Okona? Rumplestiltskin? Singing space hippie? All played by actors who are fine in other things, but somehow just do not work in that role.
