Alexa Vega was 5/6 when she got her first role in Little Giants (1994). Also, Jodie Sweetin was 5 in the first season of Full House as well.
And you do realize that there are movies and TV shows that have baby actors as a child of someone, right?
We don't talk about Bruno! No, no, no!

oh so that's why you almost never see a 5 year old actor in a movie or tv show. that makes sense then. bc i've noticed that whenever a tv show casts a son or daughter who is the youngest age for a tv show they are always at least 8 years old. ever notice this?
and yes you are right drew was only 5 when she was in altered states in 1980.
i'm just making an odd unique observation that she will be the youngest recipient of the oscar's lifetime achievement award ever bc usually this award is given to a 70 or older actor.

She would deserve it. Like you said, she started working at around 5. MOST five year olds are still learning their ABC's and learning to count, read, and write their names, not working. I know when I was five I was doing those typical things, not working.

If that happens, I'm sure we can count on you to be right here, on this board, to post about.

That probably won't ever happen. She isn't in nearly enough high quality movies for this to ever occur.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
