The actor Thomas Atkinson who plays Lachlan White there is no way this actor is only fourteen years old he looks a bit older. I would be shocked if the Emmerdale producer Kate Oates would let a fourteen year old boy be involved in such a tough storyline. I think Thomas is a talented young actor. But the kid who plays Lachlan seems more mature he doesn't look fourteen or act it. Does anyone know the age of the actor who plays Lachlan? I think he is doing a good job.
