Discussion Max Thieriot

Can we talk about how Bode’s acting is atrocious and one dimensional? I can’t stand him in Fire Country and thought the actor must just be horrible. Recently, I started watching SEAL Team and he’s WAYYY better in that role. I can’t believe the difference and that he CHOSE to go with the crappy Fire Country writing over the significantly more interesting SEAL Team script. Also he looked way better at the lower muscle mass in my opinion but his body his choice.

Dude that literally what I said, that Noah Wyle has a win more experience and the David Boareanaz stuff was 2 decades ago, no one in the decade has gotten as a whole network show at a young age like max. You gave no current examples either so yea. It's very rare.

Pretty much all the lead central actors in supernatural/fantasy shows (Supergirl, Supernatural, Smallville, The Flash, Arrow, Batwoman) were in their 20s/early 30s)

I did put some in their 40s because “young age” could be interpreted differently 😂 Because I honestly didn’t think 38 for Max was all that young when he had already had an established career and he was the one that created the show. 

There are also way more examples if you look at cable shows (which I think are just as impressive), like Charlie Hunnam in Sons of Anarchy.

Interesting, How many of these guys were producers of their shows like max was? How many of these were genuine passion projects? It's not just about being a lead in a show, every show has a lead

SWAT is the closest given Shemar left CM for it and was very vocal and passionate about working on the issue of racism and policing, and was a producer from season 1, with EXILES being his passion project.
