Did anyone see that new Hannah Montanna episode?

He's one to talk on every issue.

Oh no he's not! lol!

They make so much money, one of their stars could eat live babies and still get renewed for another 3 seasons and have their own breakfast cereal.

I wanna laugh so much at that! But it's the sad truth at the same time...

The guy who plays Hannah's older brother (around 15 or 16 on the show) is around 30 in real life!

If you think there's no discipline behind the scenes, think again...it's just very closed-door and not at all publicized like the infraction would be. And of course given that these are (mostly) child stars, they get punished (1) by the production (2) by the family and (3) by the media sting and having their dirty laundry in public...granted maybe in each case you may not have all three (in some cases for example, the family may not even care), but fame comes with its prices and you can take it to the bank that the kids pay! Big! One way or another.

And yes, stars can be replaced. Speaking of the guy who plays Hannah's brother, he had a close call...after doing a scene that required several takes, he engaged in some alchohol on set and a bottle was left on set which Disney later had to digitally remove after fans caught it! He came very close to being written off after that.

Many actors that play teenagers on tv are actually in their 20's-30's though..it's not really anything new..In fact most of the time they seem to like older actors for those sort of things

Wow! He's 30! Funny about the alcohol but kind of sad.

That's long been the norm - don't have to worry about schooling for the kids, the restrictions of hours they can work and other legal/union issues. From Welcome Back Kotter to Fame to any number of shows about high schoolers, adults playing teens have long been the norm...it's only relatively recently that you have so many teens playing teens.

I know. I mean look at Power Rangers...
