To cast an older Joseph would perhaps cause difficulties in casting the rest of them. ALW seems to have this thing for younger actors and I imagine he want to cast the whole show fairly young.
Having said that, I think Rob looks far older than the others, so he would pose the same problems.
But - if that is the case - anyone he considered too old should never have been put through to the finals.”

Joseph young at the start, but the events in the story take place over several years (well they do in the bible version
), so an older Joseph would be great for the vast majority of the Egypt story. If age is going to be used by the panel as an excuse then they're going to have to apply it equally to all the teenagers who might be the right age for the start of the show, but would be way to young for the end of it.
