Line 118:
* In the 1962 film ''[[The Manchurian Candidate (novel)|The Manchurian Candidate]]'', [[Angela Lansbury]] plays the mother of Laurence Harvey's character, despite being only two years older than Harvey; both actors were in their mid-30s when the film was made.
* The satirical 1966 film ''Lord Love a Duck'' has high-schoolers played by 23-year-old Tuesday Weld and ''38-year-old'' Roddy McDowall.
* In the first ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]]'' film, [[Tobey Maguire]] and [[James Franco]] were about 26 and 23, respectively, playing high school seniors.
** [[Andrew Garfield]], who portrays the character in [[The Amazing Spider-Man|the 2012]] [[Continuity Reboot|reboot film]], is 27 playing a high school student.
* ''[[Willow]]'' inverts the trope by featuring then-17-year-old [[Warwick Davis]] as a father of two who must be in his 30s at least.
Line 707:
* ''[[The Bill]]'' features a 19-year-old character, played by an actress who was 17 when she started filming.
* [[Sarah Michelle Gellar]] was 16 when she started playing Erica Kane's long lost daughter Kendall Hart on ''[[All My Children]]'', who was in her twenties. It should be said though that her character's age was a [[Retcon]] from 16 because of the continuity errors it created.
* ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]'' had a good percentage of its cast close to or of the high school age (24-year-old Linda Cardellini and 21-year-old [[James Franco]] being exceptions). John Francis Daley, playing a very small and scrawny 14-year-old, was the same age as his character.
** Also, in ''[[Bones]]'', in which a now 24-year-old John Francis Daley plays 24-year-old [[Replacement Scrappy|wunderkind]] psychologist Lance Sweets.
* In ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'', Kara "Starbuck" Thrace is about 28–29 years old by the end of the third season, going by a reference to her having graduated from the military academy six years previously. [[Katee Sackhoff]], the actress who played Kara, was only 26 at the time.
