Alan Ruck
This is a very poorly cast character. How are we supposed to believe that an actor who is 64 years old is the brother of siblings who are in their 30's and early 40's. Stretches believability for sure.
Ruck doesn't look 64. If you asked people who had no idea, i think they'd guess 50's. So its really not poor casting. Or unrealistic. Its not like he has the same mom as the other 3. Logan had him when he was younger, then with his second wife 10 or so years later he had the rest.
shareThen the super 8 films in the intro aren't to be taken as real. Ruck's character doesn't look much older than the other children in the home movies. They all look just a few years apart from each other. That is what kind of confused me. If it wasn't for that, then I wouldn't have found it that unbelievable.
shareThe Super 8 intro footage features different children from different wealthy families as well as the Fathers. The intro establishes the tone along with sinister Vivaldi-esque music
shareOh OK, that makes sense. There are 3 boys and a girl in the opening super 8 footage, so it confused me. Thanks for the explanation.
shareNo, the intro is clearly the Roy kids in different stages of their lives.
shareExactly. Different mom makes it entirely plausible...And don't forget he got his start in movies as a 30 year old playing a high school student!
