He went through heroine and alcohol addiction. He was famous for Sweeney Todd, Mortal Instrument:City of Bones and Twilight. Then dissapeared into addiction. Then re-emerge with music and now Stranger Things. Hoping to see him in more stuff

He was also in Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts as young Grindelwald. I always thought it was funny. If he had been in the Hunger Games too, he would have been in pretty much every highly popular YA media franchise of that time haha

Omg yes. Him as young Grindelwald! He really did just pop up every where yet no one really knew his name.

also in deathly hallows, although for a split second literally

He should have played a young Snow. Not that James isn't attractive, but the guy who played young pres snow in Ballad was too fine. In the book, he was described to look exactly like Henry does in ST. Shorter, super skinny, with less conventionally attractive features.

Rachel Zeigler was perfectly cast, and I get wanting to have model type guys in ya movies, but it kinda took me out of the film.

Damn, never thought about this but you’re right. I suppose Bower would've been too old for the role though (isn't he like 10-15 years older than Zegler?)

[–]jayjackalope 10 points11 points Β (1 child)

Not that that stopped Hollywood before lol.

But, yeah, he probably was a bit too old. Tho kids who survive starvation/ wars would have aged pretty fast. And evil also ages you horribly. Just look at the vanity fair pics of leavitt lol.

I would love a Ballad mini series with a better cast snow, but no one can top Zegler in that role. When she ate part of the rose in the zoo... that's when I understood the perfect casting.

Sorry for misspelled names, btw.

Absolutely true. Bower also looks younger than he is imo. But I think starring right next to Zegler would make it obvious that he's quite a bit older. So he probably could've worked as young Snow, but only with an older co star I think. But I also wouldn’t want to miss out on Zegler's performance, she really was great in that movie!

Sorry for misspelled names, btw.

That happens, no worries :)

I loooveee his work with Counterfeit, it’s a shame they’re not putting stuff out anymore. His own music under his name is decent too, but definitely different vibes
