My Take
David Henrie earns my respect for how he navigated the post-Disney minefield. Playing Justin Russo, the responsible older brother on Wizards of Waverly Place, could have typecast him forever, yet he quietly built a parallel career as a writer and director while taking roles in films like Reagan. Even his early gig as Ted's future son on How I Met Your Mother showed smart instincts for choosing durable material. I appreciate that he chose craft over celebrity noise — a rare path for child stars. He may never dominate tabloids, and that is precisely why I suspect his work behind the camera will keep growing in ambition and stature.
