Dawson Casting: Difference between revisions

*** Even then {{spoiler|Kendall's 'real' is still about seven years younger than Charisma's and presumably she was supposed to at least ''look'' 25, in-universe if nothing else.}}

** Kind of [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in the mini-episode shot to promote a possible season 4. Veronica is supposed to be in her mid-twenties, having graduated both college and the FBI academy, yet as one of the younger new recruits, she gets picked to go undercover as a teenager.

** Griffin, Carly's love interest in "iDate A Bad Boy", was played by a 23 year old and looked like it, especially in some shirtless scenes, is supposed to be a high school senior. The episode involved some heavy make out sessions with the star of the show [[Miranda Cosgrove]], who was 15 when they filmed them. Miranda apparently got to choose which guy they casted.

* On ''[[Big Time Rush]]'', Carlos Pena (21), Logan Henderson (21), James Maslow (20) and Kendall Schmidt (20) play 16 year olds. It sort of works out, though, because of their rather boyish yet still mature good looks and their mid-pitched voices. Kendall and Carlos could pass as a bit older, though.

* Charlotte Coleman was in her early 20s when playing teenage Jess in the TV adaptation of ''[[Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit]]''.

* On the [[Soap Opera]] ''[[All My Children]]'', [[Sarah Michelle Gellar]] first appeared on the show at the real-life age of 18, but she appeared as the main character [[Erica Kane]]'s previously-unknown daughter. [[Susan Lucci]], the actress who portrays Erica, has been on the show since it first aired, and there had never been a mention of an unknown daughter being born. The show tried to cover this up by claiming that the daughter was the product of a rape of Erica when she was 13, which would have made Gellar's character in her 20s. Nobody really bought it, but just wrote it off as [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief]].

* More [[Selma Blair]] examples:

** ''[[The Adventures of Pete and Pete]]'' almost avoided this until 23-year old Selma Blair arrived in the episode "Das Bus."
