Is Charlie Jones still acting or has pretty much gave up?
Do you think he is back in acting school?

On his last scene at EastEnders he's voice finally broke, I am keen to see what puberty has done to him in the last 2 years, as he was about 14ish, he should be about age 16 now hopefully now looking like a man than a child.

He is nowhere to be seen, he has had no TV appearances since, do you think his bad acting publicity and many viewer and critic complaints ruined his chances for him to be on TV or soaps again?

He was axed because EE wanted a more grown up looking hard nut after his prison sentence, something that Charlie could not act out well! so they brang in Joshua Pascoe, which he fulfilled as being allot tougher than the old Ben.
He has done more and more intense scenes, again that Charlie wasn't suitable for!

Have you heard anything about him!?
Do you think he should brush up his acting skills before coming back into TV?
Is he EVER coming back onto TV?
Do you thing acting is a right career for him?

I personally think he has potential, and he has enough time to practice, practice makes perfect!!!!!

Is there any input you could add to this?

Thanks

I hope he does well in the future. He seemed a nice lad and he played the pre-prison Ben very sympathetically.

Nothing on his IMDB page. Maybe he wants to put the memories of being Ben Mitchell behind him and move on with his life?

He was 14/15 when he left. I'd guess he's busy with school.

He was big into his dancing too, so he might be focusing on that.

Being on television and IMDB isn't the be all and end all of a career in acting though. He could be doing musicals, pantomime, theatre.

I never assumed that it was the "be all and end all" of an actor's career, I wish people would stop assuming that's what I'm saying (using the exact same phrase). I said "move on with his life" I didn't mean he's stopped working. The OP asked "will we ever see him again?". For those of us who aren't particularly into panto or musicals, the answer would be "no, we're not likely to see him again".

I was responding in general, not to you specifically. The OP is completely over the top and quite insulting. Leave the poor guy alone.

i dont think the OP was insulting, he actually said 'I personally think he has potential', i think he genuinely wanted to know what charlie was up to

I agree, I didn't see anything "insulting" about the OP's post, I feel they were genuinely curious.

Some good points, well made, but BIB - please, 'brang' isn't a word or a correct conjugation of the verb 'to bring'! I'm an English teacher and our precious language is being mangled up at every turn! I think what you meant to say was "they brought in Joshua Pascoe"!

I'm sorry, I know we're not supposed to harp on about spelling and grammar too much on the forums, and I apologise for doing so (and, believe me, I let so many instances of bad grammar go every day!) but every so often I think that if no one bothers to correct these things they will only get worse, and quite often the person who is misusing the English language does actually do want to use it properly, they just don't know how!

Good for you - but hoping you now know there's no such word as 'brang' for the past tense if 'bring' (But just in case you don't, it's 'brought' )

He's grown up hasn't he. I think he would be great as Ben again.

He had an uncredited role in Casualty last year as a boy who got injured when playing with fireworks.

I saw him in an advert in January, he still can't act, and still looks about 14!
Never want this clown back!
