Danny Lloyd
Thanks to his father, Danny Lloyd became famous at the age of 6, when he appeared in Kubrick’s The Shining. He was cast after 6 auditions among 5,000 candidates, the director liked him because he could stay in character for a long time. It’s known that Kubrick did all he could to protect the child’s psychological health, and didn’t even tell him it was a horror film. Lloyd only learned about the movie’s true plot when he was 16. Unfortunately, this role was Lloyd’s one and only big movie appearance. He left the movie industry at the age of 10 and became a biology professor. Only in 2019 did he appear on-screen again in a small cameo in Doctor Sleep.

The industry focuses on youth and beauty, and roles dry up with time.

Claud,
That's because it's what people want to see. When I see a movie, I want to see attractive people, not fat, ugly ones. If I wanted that, I'd go to WalMart.
People also want to see good acting, so if you've got those skills, you never stop being hired. No one want to watch ugly, talentless hacks on the screen.
Only fat, ugly women complain about this sort of thing.

Keziah,
No. That makes a movie less realistic and therefore worse. You just need a good actor. And good actors and actresses prove you wrong.
Think of a lot of famous ones and see how they look. Think Schwarzenegger or Stallone. No one thought they could be an actor because of looks and accents. DeVito? Not exactly a model...
Actresses? Whoopi Goldberg. String of hits. Sarah Jessica Parker, Tilda Swinton, Winona Ryder, Meryl Streep. ALL were told they were too ugly for acting. And ALL names you know because they made great movies and series.
Plus, beauty is still in the eye of the beholder and a lot of men like bigger women but it's the idea that people don't want them that has stopped studios casting them.
I don't want a load of generic pretty boys and girls that I can't even tell apart, just like I don't want a load of sequels and movies almost identical to last years hits.
This only exists because big studios think "Well, it sold before so now we're going to do the same ad nauseam until the public pukes and then we're gonna latch on to another hit an original movie maker made that did something unique."
And I'm probably not the only one...
