Who wants VS wanting~
In the movie, a teenager wanting to pursue a singing career meets resistance from his storng-willed father.
1. 'Wanting' underlined above can be replaced by who wants or who wanted, can't it?
2. What I was wondering is if that replacement can occur in every situation.
(for example, who want(s) or -ed and wanting is always interchangable regardless context?)
