Here’s the kicker. Christopher Briney, who plays Conrad on the show, was 24 when the first season aired. Yes, a 24-year-old man played a 17-year-old.
That’s a seven-year gap. It’s hilarious. It’s perfect. It’s Hollywood math at its finest.
So next time you watch, remember: That brooding teenager is played by a grown man. And yet, he still feels like a lost kid. That’s the magic of Conrad Fisher.
Go ahead, argue about his age. It’s half the fun. The other half is watching him fall in love, one excruciating summer at a time.
