Recently while watching an episode of The Magicians (A TV series based on a couple of students learning about magic and its dangers at a school called Brakesville while exploring the dangers of an alternate world called Fillory), I was reminded of that kid who played Justin Timberlake’s nephew in the movie Friends With Benefits.
In the movie, if you havent seen it, he is an aspiring Magician who tries to impress his family with simple tricks and a few complicated ones like magic fire or the woman in the box which are barely successful (if not outright failures) and I immediately began wondering if he ever becomes a Magician… or does he become something else…
Movies and Sitcoms often has such side characters which are there on screen only for a short duration but at some point I wonder what they finally did with their lives… Did they accomplish their dreams? Grow up and decide their dreams were too stupid? What did Kevin from Home Alone do after he grew up? And what happened to his cousins?
And when I talk about these characters, I dont mean the actors who played them but the Characters themselves. TV series that have long since ended like White Collar and Small Wonder… What did Mozzie do with his money? What did Neal do in Paris? And Peter? What about him? Did he become happier and lived a better life knowing Neal was still alive? Did he ever tell Elizabeth?
So many questions remain unanswered even when a series ends. Whether it be a series of scenes which make a movie, events which make a book, or episodes which make a Sitcom..
Cheers!
