Typecast

Have you ever seen those actors that star in really popular roles and then they can't get away from it? Like that dude on Saved by the Bell? Or even Daniel Radcliffe- although he's trying really hard to avoid it. Well, I think my child is typecast. It all started in Kindergarten... he played a rebellious teenager...

Don't get me wrong. He was made for the part. He played it beautifully. He's got that angry attitude down perfect. When I was watching this play, I hoped that I was not seeing a glimpse of the future.

Then in 1st grade, he played a stubborn/grumpy turnip who refused to be pulled up out of the ground. I thought, what? when I heard about it. But when I watched it... holy cow! He was made for that part! I don't have any pictures of him because I naively thought that I didn't want to take pictures of a turnip. But I was so wrong!

Now, in 2nd grade he was in another skit. He played (of course) one of the bad guys! I laughed when I heard this. It was about a circus and he is one of the people who steals the animals. He got to go hide among the audience and run from the police.

"Oh no! I've been caught"...

The cluster of bad guys in the above photo.. they are discussing strategy.

I'm sorry, but he looks way too happy... it makes me nervous :)
