...is supposed to be 29. WHAT. He's played by a 38 year old actor who looks 40! I think I might even go so far as to say Ben Price is the most uselessly vacant actor in all of soap...

    I think he looks 83:rolleyes: enough already with the Ben Price age threads....he certainly looks more like Chris Quinten than the other 2 Nicks...so that's a good thing in my book

    Watching some of these Corrie Compilations ITV have been playing made me realise whatshisface who played him before (Alan something who tried to have a music career) looked really young. Constantly looked about 15.

    I think his acting over the past week has been fantastic.

    I've not watched Corrie for years so I thought I'd catch up with the 50th anniversary special week and was generally impressed. It took me some time to work out that this was the third (or forth or even sixth?) version of Nick Tilsley. Couldn't work out his age and I'm stunned to hear Nick's supposed to be 29? Maybe they'll age him a few years by his next birthday? What soaps normally do when this happens.

    Some people look younger that they are and some people look older.

    This has already been discussed on numerous occasions.

    Ben Price is too old to be playing Nick. I don't know what the producers were thinking of bringing him in, he might be a good actor but he's way too old for the character he's supposed to be portraying.

    Just checked wiki and I'm right....he was on Casualty last series.I remember him as a senior adminstrator type at the hospital who was quite shady and giving Nick Jordan a lot of grief.

    Ben Price is not a good actor. He is dreadful. And looks about 45. It is one of the worst, most shamefully bad, pieces of casting I have ever seen in the history of CS.

    He played the part of Nathan Spencer in Casualty.

    I like Ben Price as an actor - i tend to act actors real ages - they never make sence to go with the character.

    Having seen Chris on the Corrie's 50 moments programme .... he looks younger than the man playing his son! ;p;
