people thought the same about tom when he shaved his head for cherry, or grew his hair for the crowded room, but he's still seen as spidermanI like it. More importantly, it's a great career choice. He'll start to pull away from the "pretty boy from the show-which-shall-not-be-named" image that a lot of people have held against him and start moving in the direction of a serious career. It'll open up more parts for him, too. He can play a range of ages by just fucking around with his hair.
