Sitcoms about high schools have often cast actors in their twenties or thirties. There's no way those classrooms had that many kids who looked like they'd been held back about a decade due to failing, well. everything, but that's how Hollywood has worked. The talent pool of believable actors who are the precise ages of your characters can be very limited, and sometimes you just want the best performer, not the most believable looking.
TOS Scott had more than one hairstyle, give the guy time.COME ON, PRODUCERS, PLEASE DO THIS. i'll totally be on board and with you.

See, I really don't like the Empath or Requiem for Methuselah. I do like Is There Truth in No Beauty. Miranda is a great example of a woman just trying to do her job, constantly being sexually harassed by men, and politely declining while wishing they would all get lost. She's a heroine for our modern age! Enterprise Incident is a great episode that just needs its gaping plot holes plugged.
They could easily make him look older. The point is more that they are also making him act young and unsure. He's spent years working on freighters cutting corners to keep them functioning. He might be an inexperienced officer, since we don't know when he joined Starfleet, but it is odd that he's being played as unsure and over-cautious as an engineer. I like the actor but the portrayal is definitely off.
Exactly so.
lol, no
It also has to do with labor laws. Casting actual teenagers comes with a limit in how many hours they can film in a day so they can also continue to get mandated school time.
Damn kids getting edumacated is interfering with my entertainment!
Serving on the Enterprise ages him quickly.
The more pertinent aspect of the line is that it confirms Jim was in David's life long enough for David to remember and have an impression of him, even if he didn't know that the guy who was visiting was his father.
