Dillon Moen played Charlie O'Neill in Jack's hallucination in the third season episode "The Devil You Know." However, he is listed in the credits for the episode right before that, "Jolinar's Memories." Is it just because this was a two part episode that they listed all the characters in both credits? Unless I'm missing seeing Charlie in the first episode.
My personal opinion - I didn't like this actor for the part. Maybe because I was introduced to Charlie in "Cold Lazarus" played by a different actor and I really liked that little actor. I'm guessing the reason they didn't get the same actor is because at that age, a kid can really grow in two years. However, I'm guessing the actor who played Charlie in season 1 was around 11 years old. Dillon Moen was only 6 at the time. So he felt too young to be Charlie given the boy we met in season 1. And I'm wondering why the people in charge would recast another actor much younger for the same role. At least they could have picked a boy around the age Kyle Graham was when he played the part.
In the episode "Learning Cuve," Merrin or Marrin (however it's spelled) said that she was 11. Throughout that episode, I was like, "No way, you've got to be a teenager." She looked way too old, I thought, to be 11. And I checked out IMDB and she was actually 14 at the time. Did the casting people really think she looked that young? Did anyone else here think she looked that young?
I liked young Sam Carter in her flashback. Too bad we couldn't see more of her younger self.
The little bald boy in "Show and Tell," did we ever see more of him?
