* DawsonCasting: 26-year-old Alec Newman plays Paul Atreides, starting when Paul is only 18 years old in part one of a three-part miniseries. Even with the three-year time jump between parts two and three, he's substantially older than Paul is. A general consensus among many reviewers was that Paul comes off as too petulant in part one - because he's ''supposed'' to be acting like an angsty teenager, but he's played by an actor a full decade older than that.

* DawsonCasting: Alec Newman was around the same age as Creator/KyleMacLachlan was in 1984. Then three years later he returned as Paul in ''Children of Dune'', set ''decades'' later. This actually worked out better for the sequel: Newman was 26 years old when he played ''15-year-old'' Paul in part one of the first miniseries, but they cast him with an eye towards playing older-Paul.
