Will Amanda ever evolve beyond playing a 16 year old girl? Mellisa Joan Heart couldn't and we saw how that worked out for her. Actors can be age cast as well as type cast and amanda bynews is well on her way IMO.

I don't think Amanda is doing to bad she's a kid right now with a long way to go. If she puts her mind to it anything is possible. however her resume isn't exact;y as strong as say, Dakota Fanning.

At this point I just wonder if she even knows how to portray someone without any comical undertones because we never get to see it. I think she could be good tho.. other wise she will definitely go the way of Melissa Joan Hart.

We actually have a chance to see if she can play someone more serious.. shes got a new movie coming out tomorrow and its a pretty serious role.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0F__IfeUXg
