teen actors, can one?
So, a discussion of "young" actors would center on work in the twenties, early thirties. I merely pointed out that the Danes did lots of good stuff in their twenties.
As for moving goal posts, you're being really unfair. You misread my original post which was "YOUNG ACTORS." For the sake of discussion, I soldiered on. You completely ignore my points about leading vs. quirky character actors, which is central. You want to compare Dellahunt or Kenner to.... Kaas or Thomsen? Get serious, really. Look at the résumés. Third-billing vs. top billing.
And my larger point is the juvenalization of American films. It is geared to teenagers and the lead actors that have come up during this time all look.... teen-agey. Cutesie. Downey's grin. Pitt's wide-as-a-canyon smile and dimples.
No cutesie in Denmark (or Iran, French, Italian, Korean, et al) films.
You like cutesie, don't be bashful.
I don't.
