#the camera pans to the team and literally Hotch and Jack have the same look like same angled face same little smile EVERYTHING

I think Jack was cast as a toddler (was he played by twins? I think he was idk) but YES I was just thinking the other day how immaculate the casting was. Especially when he’s like 10/11 years old at the end of his run on cm, MAN. That was well done.

Oh, new info! Nice!

And yeah, the casting for Jack was just *chef's kiss* I was seeing some pictures of Hotch from the Mr. Scratch saga and came across this particular one that made my brain all akskdjjdjd

I was like 'yo, I've seen that face before, where have I seen that face before?' and it was actually JACK!

(kudos to the CM casting director 'cause I imagine it's extremely hard to cast kids with the intention of watching them grow up as the story progresses, our faces change a lot as we get older and there's no way to tell if the kid you cast having certain features yesterday is gonna look the same when you're shooting the next season)
