    This is exactly what Mila Kuniz did to get on the “That 70’s Show”, just the opposite. You had to be 18 or about to be 18, but she was 14 when she auditioned. They really liked her and asked if she was 18, she said no, so they asked when she’d turn 18, she said on her birthday, they asked when her birthday was and she only told them the month and day. They assumed she was turning 18 that year so they chose her for the part because she fit it perfectly. Later on when it went into production she told them her real age and said she never lied, she will turn 18 on her birthday.. just not for 4 more years lol. They still kept her on obviously.

The casters couldn't tell so clearly she had what they're looking for. And it's 1 role for 1 person it really doesn't matter who gets it. 1 person gets to live their dream if they are 12 or 15.

      I think she was in Billy Elliot, but I don't know who she played

      I think she was one of the ballet girls in Billy Elliot.

      yes! she was the ballet girl who was told she looked like a s****** starfish which is how her fans became known as Starfish. There's a video somewhere in which she talks about how she didn't know the show but the person at the audition asked her to try something out and she had lots of personality and that helped her stand out
