Wes Anderson's film sets have been a rite of passage for young actors, offering a surreal but nurturing environment for them to learn and grow.

Anderson's latest film, "Asteroid City," features successive generations of Anderson actors, including Jason Schwartzman, Tony Revolori, and a new crop of young faces. Anderson's young actors tend to be clever, precocious kids that are in some ways stand-ins for the director, who grew up a brainy child of divorce with a Super 8 camera in hand.
