Why Didn’T Daeg Faerch Play In Halloween 2? The Shocking Reason

The original plan was for Daeg Faerch to reprise his role as young Michael Myers in the sequel, Halloween II (then called H2). He actually began filming in Georgia, but he grew taller. The filmmakers felt that he had grown too tall to play the young version of Michael Myers. This made sense given the fact that the filmmakers needed to use a variety of actors to play Michael Myers throughout the film. To maintain continuity, the filmmakers realized they needed a young actor who could convincingly portray a younger version of the older Michael Myers. This is why they recast the role.

The decision to recast the role of young Michael Myers in Halloween II was a pragmatic one. It wasn’t about Faerch’s performance. It was simply about finding the right actor to portray a younger version of the older Michael Myers, and Faerch was no longer the best fit. The filmmakers needed an actor who could convincingly portray a younger version of Michael Myers, someone who could “fit in” with the older Michael Myers in the film’s continuity. The decision to recast the role was made in the interest of maintaining continuity, and it’s important to remember that it wasn’t a reflection on Faerch’s acting ability.
