Cross-Dressing Children

[TerranRich]

I figured this belonged in this forum. I'm watching a recorded (on DVR) episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit ("Identity", 2005), and basically they had a 15-year-old kid (male) play both Logan Stanton....and his sister, Lindsey.

Anyone else think that's more than a little...weird? At first I figured Reiley McClendon was a girl and was just really good at playing a boy. Then I IMDB'ed his name and saw it was a male. Kinda seemed odd to me.

Have there been any other cases of under-18 male actors playing a serious (non-comedic) female role?

Fuck off.

Yeah, so you had no problem when you thought it was a girl playing a boy, but the other way is wrong to you?

Not like hes slating it ffs, hes saying its odd and something he hasn't seen before and asked if there were many more cases of it

I stand by "fuck off."

Which I suppose is preaching clear and indignant moral superiority, but still. :roll:

What, you think it's weird that it's more normal for a girl to dress up like a boy, than it is for a boy to dress up like a girl? I'm not saying it's normal, just more so.

Oh, I guess I offended Kane Knight by mentioning crossdressing in a not-so-positive light. Sorry, KK, you can put your bra back on.

[Kane Knight]

Fuck off.

(I didn't even read your post, but still. :D)
