That reminds me about Laila Lockhart Kraner from Netflix's "Gabby's Dollhouse" is presumably in her early 20s. She plays an 11 year old.

Now do the actors of Beverly Hills 90210. When the show started, Ian Ziering was 26. Jason Priestly was 21. Lukey Perry was 24. Gabrielle Carteris was 29. Shannon Doherty was 23.
It’s seems more reasonable to use 26 year old actors to play a ~16 year old high school students than 11 year olds.

Daniel Radcliffe on the other hand was actually 11-12 when playing an 11-12 year old character. By comparison Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy simply didn’t fit nearly as well because he was a 2 years older. https://fantasytopics.com/harry-potter-cast-real-life-ages-d...

Tried to look it up, but she's kept her age secret.

I'm surprised that works in 2022!

Google showing she's 26 or 27?
I haven't seen a conclusive answer. My search results suggest that she may be 22, but it is mostly based on the fact that she has some voice acting credits from 2003. Someone on Reddit mentioned that they read an article saying "(...) she moved to LA w her family when she was 6, and then took up acting classes “a while later”" and this suggest that voice acting would probably be after this. So she would be from 1997 at least and that would make her 25 (or more). The show had its premiere on January 2021.

Regardless it is remarkable or even more remarkable.

I looked her up, because my daughter was asking about her.
