31!!This actor provides examples of:
32* DawsonCasting: He played teenagers in ''Theatre/NextToNormal'' and ''Catch Me if You Can'' when he was in his mid- to late 20s, and later played the 17-year-old Danny Zuko in ''Grease: Live'' when he was 33.
33* FakeNationality: In ''Film/{{Les Miserables|2012}}'', he plays Enjolras, who is French, but does so [[TheQueensLatin with a British accent]].
34* StarMakingRole: He was already well known in the theatre community before ''Les Miserables'', but his role as Enjolras gained him a whole new level of stardom. Apparently, so is ''Graceland''.
