This actor provides examples of:
- Dawson Casting: He played teenagers in Next to Normal 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.
- Fake Nationality: In Les Miserables, he plays Enjolras, who is French, but does so with a British accent.
- Star-Making Role: 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. According to at least once source, Hollywood has been trying for a few years now to bring the guy to television.
