Ben Platt was 27 when he starred in the film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen. I'm surprised he was that young, he looks 40 in that movie. The thing is, a lot of that is the hair. I've seen him elsewhere not look anywhere near as old, though even then, it was definitely something that wasn't going to look great in HD, even if I am sure he probably was perfectly fine on-stage.

Tobey Maguire was 27 playing a 16 year-old Peter Parker. Andrew Garfield was 29 playing a 17 year-old Peter. Tom Holland was 20 playing a 15 year-old Peter in Civil War, which was a big step in the right direction. Of course, by the time Peter reached 17 in the MCU Holland was 26, which is getting back up there again. Kind of another reason why adaptations desperately need to stop keeping this character perpetually in high school when he's not been in it in the comics in the past 58 years. Not only that he was only in high school for like a year...

Ludi Lin was 29 or 30 when the Power Rangers movie was released in 2017 where he was playing a high schooler.
