Good show but the kid's acting smh


I like the show a lot but couldn't they have found a kid that can act. Every time she speaks I cringe. Worst child actor ever, even for a tv show !

Not the worst but she's pretty bad. Almost looks like she has a disorder or painfully shy.

reply

She act just like other 5-7 year old kids actors. Lexy Kolker started acting because of her sister Ava Kolker from Girl Meets World. She still learning and get better later.

And maybe she won't. Done kids are just not talented and fine are just natural.

reply

All kids actors are talents. Everyone different. She will get better with acting. See Dakota & Elle Fanning from the beginning 5-9.

reply

she has an excuse, now i know bunch of grown ups who wouldn't be able to act even if their life depended on it
Michelle Rodriguez, Gwyneth Paltrow, January Jones etc
i'm sure list would become half of this page but i just can't be bothered

Um have you seen the Gotham kid actors that play Bruce and Selina? Mary's actress is fine.

What a bunch of catty remarks here. I find the acting of the child really well done for what she is supposed to be.
#1 a 6 year rather sheltered child
#2 definitely much like her father (you can see her carefully observing events)

Lexy doesn't over act, nor has she been asked to get all weepy and clingy. Thank goodness she wasn't given overly mature dialogue which is my pet peeve with juvenile parts. She plays a quiet young child who has often been alone with her mother during her father's deployments and has been raised on his military stories to understand military slang such as "watch my six."




It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it.

The girl played her role very naturally.
