This Was Quinton Aaron’s First Role
Despite some of the discrepancies between fiction and reality, most viewers felt that Aaron did an amazing job portraying Oher. In fact, they couldn’t see anyone else in the role. But most people didn’t realize that this was the actor’s first major lead role. Before “The Blind Side,” he had only taken on minor roles. And even though he had been acting for a few years at that point, he hardly had any film experience under his belt.
