Drying Fountain of Youth

Too many thespians hide their age from their IMDB and Wikipedia pages, but it’s a lost cause if they have…

1) A LinkedIn account where you can deduce their age by when they attended high school and university.

2) A biography which pinpoints how long it took to get from studying acting to doing it in front of the camera.

3) A Backstage page which informs you what age range that they can play.

4) An Explore Talent page which forces them to reveal what their age is in the same way that a dating site would.

5) Early screen credits which give away their age.

6) A social media account where they let slip their age by saying something like “Celebrating racial harmony since 1989.”

There is also the matter of someone reading old articles where the thespian is referred to as whatever-years-old they were at the time. Not to mention that there are websites featuring voting statistics and postal records. If you’re an thespian on a dating site, forget about anonymity when people can do a reverse image search. You shouldn’t even reveal acting as your occupation; just reveal what you do that pays the bills. By the time that you can survive on acting alone, people won’t believe that it’s you who’s created the account (whether it be POF, OKC or Tinder).
