A time jump wouldn’t surprise me - IIRC, there were two three-month gaps in between episodes during season three.
Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Casts Sulu and Bones for Series Finale
reddig33@lemmy.world 1 day agoTOS starts way after SNW, so the actor playing bones for this series should be younger than Kelley, not ten years older. Unless the finale takes place years later. We’ll see.

I was just pointing out an observation.
But hey… full grown adults used to be normally cast as teenagers.

We have to take into account that, generally speaking, a 50-year-old jobbing actor on low-budget TV in 1966 looked a good deal older than a 50-year-old Hollywood actor tends to look now. (Hell, I’m not that far from 50, not Hollywood glam by any stretch, and I still look noticeably younger than my boomer parents did at my age and way younger than my Depression-era grandparents looked at my age.)
Physically, under modern makeup, lighting, and filming, I could see this guy looking very similar in age to Kelley in TOS.
