Poll Suggestion: Favorite Male Teen Character

Hello,

This is quite a good list. My pic from these would be Ethan Hawke probably.

Does Jake Gyllenhaal from "Donnie Darko" count? And perhaps someone from Stand By Me (1986).

This looks more like a list of teen characters or actors who played teen characters rather than teen actors. Maybe someone else could suggest a better title or description.

Here are a few guidelines that you can go through to make it viable for a poll soon. :)

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your remarks. You are actually right, in 4-5 suggestions the actors are over 18 but they play teen characters. Maybe I should change the title or mention it at the description. I'll work on that.

Yes, Jake Gyllenhaal could have a place in this list, like many others, though. I didn't want to expand to much the list. About 'Stand By Me', I have suggest River Phoenix for his performance in 'The Mosquito coast' of the same year.

Thanks again.

You ABSOLUTELY cannot have a list with over the 35 maximum (allowed for polls) for it to be considered. You are going to have to trim it down. Sorry. But thems the breaks.

I'm sorry you are seeing it this way... like Brijesh said I didn't realize that someone could see it that way until RaviNathan's comment. We are talking about famous actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Christian Bale etc at their very first years of acting. About the shirtless images... the majority of the actors in these photos aren't shirtless (less than 10 on a list of 35)... and afterall these are photos posted on IMDb.com, nothing inappropriate, photos taken out of well known movies, not personal photos of the actors. Anyway, I take the hint, and I will try replace some of the photos where possible. Maybe I should change the title also, cause I think thats what confuse you about this list.

The entire history of cinema? Those are some big shoes to fill. I'd suggest narrowing the scope (for example: only films with at least 25,000 votes and ratings of 7.0 or higher) or doing multiple polls for different eras (for example: one poll for films before 1950, one for movies 1950 - 1979, one for 1980 - 1999, one for 2000 - 2020).

By the way, your list only has boys. That's a huge omission. Personally, I don't like polls that separate by sex or gender but if you want to keep it all male, you'll need to change the title and intro. Below, other teenaged boys are marked with an asterisk.

If you decide to include the other 52% of teens and if I have time, I'll get photos for the rest. : )

IMDb prefers American spelling, so please edit the title to:

Favorite Male Teen Character

And please include the question in your list:

Who's your favorite male teen character?

Technically, some of these characters are pre-teens, at least Billy Elliot and Gordie Lachance.
