Fan Casting Age Lift

Role added by connieblackwood on September 1, 2022

Description of Age Lift:

In the process of adapting a work, many things don't translate very well into a different medium. An Age Lift is when the age of the character in question is changed or glossed over for the sake of the story. The idea is that the discrepancy between character and actor is much smaller, and in some cases, the exact age is not that important to the character. In some cases, this can simply be a case of the creators avoiding the embarrassing issue of a less than wholesome relationship, or wanting to give two characters more of a connection (not necessarily a friendly one; it can be used to emphasise a Foil) by making them contemporaries.
