    Wait, I thought he was a Lost Boy, not Peter Pan. When did that change?

    I'm honestly kind of excited about this. Robert Carlyle is impressed by him and said he's very excited for Peter Pan because of a "lovely actor who was playing him", so count me intrigued! I didn't really want to see anybody older than middle to late teens play Peter, but it's always hard to find a solid young actor at times. I think they've done really well in casting Robbie. Bring on season three!

    Well I thought he was cute in POTC:OST (which then makes this casting more appropriate). I wish him the best of luck. I'm kind of glad he "appears" close in age to Henry, despite that he is probably much older.

    According to IMDB the kid playing Peter Pan is 5 years older than Henrys Actor.

    I'm not sure... I'll have to see how the story plays out, I was expecting him to be a bit older. I'm still Team Hook.

    I'm on the fence concerning this, could work out great, could end badly. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

    Yes, but he looks young for his age.

    Well 1st of all the Kid is not a little Kid he's 17 years of Age. We'll have to see how this goes.

    I expected someone that looks much older and after the casting of Tinkerbell I was hoping this would be just as good. I'm really hoping they do better when they cast Ariel.

    What exactly were you people expecting Peter Pan was a Kid that chose never to grow up.

    Wow he looks young.

  26. DarthLocke428 July 2013 at 18:50

    A couple of reasons might be:
    Once Upon A Time does do "twists" on the original tales and also it sounds like Peter Pan is the season's new villain, possibly the head of "The Believers" (Greg and Tamara's organization).


    It's hard to reconcile that someone who appears so youthful, so childlike, could be a villain, so I can understand the expectation to have him appear on the more 'young man' side of the teen spectrum, rather than the near puberty side.


    But we also don't know what the deal is with the shadow either, so I wouldn't expect a villain just being born, but made :)

    In theory his age (17) is good, I was thinking between 14-17 for Peter Pan, however the actor Robbie Kay looks like he's 12. Hopefully theses are old pictures and he's grown a lot. Peter pan should look older and be taller than Henry.

    I'm waiting and seeing before judging. The actor is the right age to play Peter Pan. Maybe he looks younger, but maybe we're also just used to 20 year olds playing teenagers. ha


    Although the kids in my junior/senior year of high school did look a bit older than he does.

    Well, he's cute! That may not be what ABC are going for, but he is. I'll be watching simply because I want to see what his character acts like. Right now, I'm only seeing a cute, young boy. If his character turns out to be the exact opposite, then it's going to be fun to see him in a brand new light.

    to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she

    I am okay with this casting - Peter Pan has always been a child - that's the whole point of neverland -its the land where you do not grow up and "Peter Pan" is the embodiment of that. And having somewhat villainous and creepy CHILD is very effective.

  43. Dan Kemp28 July 2013 at 23:23

    People, have you seen him in action? Do you know what his acting chops are? Probably not. Peter Pan is supposed to be a child, not a teenager.


    Look at the actor portraying Joffrey. The fact that everyone hates his character is because the actor portraying him is superb in the role. The actor apparently is a real gentleman in real life. Never underestimate the talent of a young actor.

    Disappointing to say the least...not to mention the fact that since he's a kid we can expect the whiny, annoying and bad acting (much like Henry).

  48. DarthLocke429 July 2013 at 00:16

    I wasn't sure if it was a land without time (becuase quantum mechanically time actually doesn't exit, timing does), as much as it was a land where one can not "age", because you see if a land had no time, you could not "move" in it's space...you would have no event order (which is a "time line" of events)

  49. DarthLocke429 July 2013 at 00:37

    I have. In POTC:OST he has a lot of presence and energy for having such a small role. IMO he's memorable. -But the reason I think some us are surprised, is because unlike Barry's plays and novels, this Peter Pan is said to be a villain!! -So you can see the oxymoron here with choosing a very childlike Peter Pan to play something that one might associate with darkness or great strength.


    Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited and feel good about the casting choice, but I can understand why it might come off as a surprise, because some of us had moved away from "traditional" Peter Pan in light of learning he might not be hero anymore!

    I think they wanted an actor who will look the same age (12-14) for the next couple of years coz he might make frequent appearances. Look at Wendy for example. She was 19 the actress but easily played a 14 year old. And I don't think people change as much between 17 and say 20. But I could be wrong and everyone is different.

    I almost expected Once peeps to choose some hot teenager or young adult. Glad they went the child route, since Peter Pan is supposed to be the boy who never grew up, or something like that. Perhaps only the shadow is evil, since it's detached from the body, and devoid of soul, while the child himself is still good-ish?
