# Many countries require a parent or a legal guardian to be present whenever a child actor is on the set.

# Puberty tends to be fickle. An adorable 14-year-old can transform into a gangly 16-year-old with rather shocking celerity, and even [[SheIsAllGrownUp grow up into a walking fanservice repository]] by the time they are 18. Furthermore, most movies and TV programs are not filmed in the order that is shown on screen, so you could have someone leave a building as a child, appear outside looking like a teenager, and then become a child again when they re-enter the building. This inconsistency will not happen if the actor has already completed puberty.
