They recast him. The show jumped 6 months into the future, so they got an older boy. Older child actor = able to do longer hours on set and better ability to read lines.

Bobby ate all of his Wheaties during the break and grew very fast.

I don't want to judge prematurely, but I don't think the new kid has the same ability to tug at the heartstrings like the previous one did. It's a shame they couldn't use him for this season, for whatever reason. The scene where he told Don "we need to get you a new daddy" was really effective. Sniff...

There could be many reasons to re-cast Bobby Draper. It could be his family moved from the Los Angeles area.

It is also possible The Season 2 actor had a growth spurt following conclusion of S2 filming.

California labor laws and the SAG contract would only permit extended work hours in a case where the younger actor was approaching a bracket and the older actor was past the cut-off age. It is not a situation where an actor gets so many minutes of work time per month of age.

Usually they cast twins when circumstances such as this this arise. Give the kid a chance. He's just a little boy. Just because the other kid was thrown a great scene with expert direction doesn't mean he's a great actor.

Okay MicheleKay
....good point...thank you.

I agree "52" the old Bobbie tugged at my heart too. It's always tricky when they replace a character no matter how good the new one is. You are invested emotionally in the old one. Remember Bewitched and the Roseann Barr Show?

To be honest, I must not have watched Bobby that closely in the past because I didn't even recognize that a new actor had taken his place. Well, I am sure he will do fine. Bobby's role has never seemed enormous anyway.

The new Bobby already starts out by getting on Betty's nerves LOL! I suppose it was him (off camera) she aimed her face at with "What are you doing??" after the discussion of going to Terrytown (he opined that the stores "smell bad"...too funny!).

Funny how they did that on Soprano's, too, with Vito's kid. But I think on that show, they did it cuz the kid's role drastically changed showing him as a freak wearing makeup and doing weird things because of things he found out about his father on the show. The boy who played the original kid, was probably not allowed to do the new role b/c of the content. Not probably, I know his father, and he wouldn't let him do it. I hope they don't make little Bobby into a freak!

The new Bobby is not a cute kid (sorry but it's true).
Doesn't even remotely resemble a kid these two gorgeous people would have. They could have hired a much cuter kid. Or perhaps this was intentional, and that's why Betty doesn't like the kid, he's not cute, and she resents having a less than attractive child.

I'm sure I've seen him somewhere. Anybody?

Brett Berk: As a professional advocate for young children, I've often been a bit ... startled at the way that little Bobby Draper -- the son of adman Don and anomic housewife Betty on the AMC program "Mad Men" -- has been treated.

In Season 1, he was smacked across his juice-stained face by a total stranger for running around inside the house. In Season 2, his mom campaigned hard for him to be spanked, hard, after he allegedly broke the family record player. (Aiming for redemption from his own brutal boyhood beatings, Don chose instead to smash his son's toy robot against the kitchen wall and give his wife a shove.)

In my heart, I can forgive the show for this brutality because I know that that a) these displays are meant to shock us by demonstrating the archaic child-rearing practices of the Jet Set era, b) according to the end-credit disclaimer, No real children were injured in the making of this program, and c) as a parenting guru, I often wish that contemporary parents assumed the tiniest iota of Don and Betty's "authority" instead of pretending that their kid is their best friend or equal (to the adverse effect for all). Plus it's not like the Draper's daughter, Sally, fares much better, getting shamed, locked in a closet, and having her arm twisted, not to mention nearly suffocating in her mom's Ginault collection.
