When casting children, usually the most important thing is to get kids who will take direction and sit still and keep quiet during shooting.

The Londo brothers have been playing Abel for three seasons now, and he was mostly a background character for most of that time. They were cast when they were 3 or 4 years old, so it's not really surprising that they're not great at carrying heavy dramatic scenes. They're still only 5 or 6.

Also, kids in these types of roles are usually kept away from the more extreme stuff on the show, so it's tough to know what the kids are actually seeing on the set and reacting to.
