Line 92:
** Stacey Dash was 28 portraying a 16-year-old in the movie and then came back for the TV show where she played a 16-year-old until she was 31. (Dee, Stacey's character, [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] this in one episode when she mentioned when they were 27 they'd be "old enough to play teenagers on TV.")
** The rest of the teen cast had an average age of 21, but 19-year-old Alicia Silverstone and 18-year-old [[Brittany Murphy]] work fairly well as 16-year-olds.
* In [[The Film of the Book]] of ''[[The World According To Garp]]'', Garp is played from age 15 and up by then-30-year-old [[Robin Williams]].
* [[David Lynch]] loves this trope.
** ''[[Twin Peaks]], [[The Movie|Fire Walk with Me]]'' [[Prequel|takes place days before the TV show]] and all the 20-something actors (mentioned in the TV section) are a few years older, with some flashbacks taking place ''years'' before the TV show, and Sheryl Lee playing 15. There were some additions to the movie that weren't in the TV show, such as 24-year'old Moira Kelly as 17-year
** In ''[[Wild at Heart]],'' 23-year-old [[Laura Dern]] plays her character as a 13-year-old in flashbacks, and [[Laura Dern]] had trouble passing as a teen when she was one, for instance when she was 19 in ''[[Blue Velvet]].''
** In ''[[Dune]]'': Sting (then 33) and Kyle MacLachlan (then 25), play Paul Atreides and Feyd Harkonnen, notwithstanding that both those characters are between the ages of 15 and 18 for the entirety of the original novel. To be fair, the makers of the TV miniseries of ''Dune'' also went for this trope as well, citing the availability of credible 15-year-old actors to play the lead part.
