In an episode of Sabrina the Teenage witch, there's an extra getting something out of his locker who is bald and clearly in his 30s or 40s. edit, found him  I take it you didn’t know anyone in high school that was seriously balding. I’ve known a few. On the plus side for those guys, that’s often a sign that they produce a prodigious amount of testosterone, making them really manly as a result. |

Weren't Luke Perry and Gabrielle Carteris both mid to late 20s when Beverly Hills 90210 started? I believe Gabrielle was 28, but I did not mind. I have a couple of types that really work for me and she fit in one of them REALLY well. |

I remember posting in my late 20s on my birthday…
“Now I am finally old enough to play a teenager on a CW drama.”
It’s been a trope for so long, that when they finally started casting real teens. I had to call out someone of my friends.
“Dude she’s soo hot…”
“You know she’s 16 right…”
“When did tv start casting real teenagers!? I thought everyone was in their 20s!”

I have a couple of types that really work for me and she fit in one of them REALLY well. No doubt.... she nailed the role. I just remember finding out she was way older maybe 1/3 or 1/2 was through the series and was shocked. |

Devery Jacobs on Reservation Dogs is 30 and was 29 when they filmed season 3 when her charecter was 18. Even out of charecter though the actress definitely doesn't look 30, so not really bad casting.

She was fine until season 4 and especially season 5 when she changed her look and suddenly looked older than Mrs Walsh |

The brother's actor on Hannah Montana was 29 at the beginning of the series, while playing someone who is, at most, 17, and given the series went on for 5-6 years, that's something that only got weirder.

That Cobra Kai cast is getting older every year but they are all still stuck in high school. The most extreme example is Kyler, who’s 38. |

Wendy O. Williams was about 36 or 37 when she did "Reform School Girls."

While she was a teen in "Clarissa Explains It All", Melissa Joan Hart would play a teen a second time around with "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" when she was in her (admittedly early) 20s. It’s weird when they do that. It’s like “I already saw you graduate high school. It’s weird you’re back there”. The other notable example (for me) is the Wesley Jonathan from City guys finishing that show and 4 years later he’s in high school again with Amanda Bines in what I like about you |

Ahh I know why I made that mistake. I watched that show in syndication at first so for me, I think of 2005 when I remember that show |
