It's safe to say at this point (he's 30 now) that Tyler James Williams is one of those rare actors who transitioned pretty smoothly from child stardom to adult stardom. He continues to be in demand to this day.

There really isn't a single, definitive version of the timeless ballet "The Nutcracker," but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Rather than finding one good version and a bunch of poor ones, which is usually what happens when we search for a "definitive" anything, in this case we have a number of different versions that all have their own charms. And all are available on DVD from the usual retailers.
