Line 126:
* Richard Wilson was 21 when he played Mikey in ''[[The Proposition]]'', who is implied to be about 14.
* [[Matthew Broderick]] gets mentioned further down in Theater, but ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off]]'' merits note. Matthew Broderick was 24 at the time, Jennifer Grey (Ferris' younger sister) was 26, but Alan Ruck (Cameron) topped them both by turning ''thirty'' a few weeks after the film was released.
* The 1959 film ''[[Teenagers from Outer Space (film)|Teenagers from Outer Space]]'' has few if any actual teenagers in it.
* Another really bad example comes from the rather poor film adaptation of the novel ''[[Flowers in the Attic]]'' by [[V. C. Andrews]], in which actors that look like adults are cast as characters who, in the book, were 14 and 12. This even [[Plot Hole|breaks the plot]]; the male lead is large enough to simply physically overpower his abusive grandmother while the rest of his siblings simply walk out the front door of the mostly empty mansion.
* ''[[The Graduate]]'' paired 30-year-old [[Dustin Hoffman]] as a recent college graduate, and 36-year-old Anne Bancroft as the middle-aged wife of his father's business partner. Not to mention 27-year-old Katharine Ross as her daughter Elaine.
