One of the key questions with the character Walt's casting were problems that arose concerning the proposed time line on the show. While the series moves slowly through time and only weeks have passed on the show, the actual filming has stretched over two years. When originally cast, Walt was portrayed as a 10-year-old boy but actor Malcolm David Kelley had actually turned 12 a few months before the pilot was filmed. After two seasons, he could no longer pass for 10. The show's writers dealt with this at the end of season two by sending Michael and Walt away from the island toward supposed rescue. Walt reappeared in season 4, but in scenes that play three years further into the show's timeline, so that he had aged appropriately by then, even if it's obvious he looks much older than 13 years old.
