Something that a lot of replies are missing is how quickly and dramatically we change appearance at that age. Imagine if filming runs over a year and the 14-year-old you hired is now a foot taller and the shape of his face changed through puberty. Sure, little kids grow fast, but features don’t change nearly as much, especially for boys in their teens.

That’s what happened to Walt in Lost. The actor had growth spurts and couldn’t play a 10 years old anymore and they just written his character out.
