However, I believe that it was what the director wanted, so it's not the actor's fault. I think they wanted to make it clearer for those who didn't read the book that Riddle was a creep, so they could see future LV in him.

I really liked the teen Riddle in the latest movie. I thought
he look very much like the younger Riddle might have looked
when he grew up.

His scene was very short, so he had a very limited time to
project the characteristics he needed to project. So, I can
be somewhat forgiving.

I also like Hero Finnes as young Riddle. I thought he had both 
a degree of evil creepiness combined with a sense of vulnerability. 
I really got the feeling of a wounded damaged boy from his also
very short performance. 

But again, and the point I wanted to make, is that I very 
much though young Riddle could have grown up to look like
teen Riddle. 

In the short screen time they had, I thought both actors did a
good job.
