Line 154:
* The four actors who played the supposedly high-school aged Juan Rico, Dizzy Flores, Carmen Ibanez, and Carl Jenkins in ''[[Starship Troopers (film)|Starship Troopers]]'' were between 25 and 30 at the time.
* In the 2009 ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'', most of the cast is semi-plausibly close to the ages of recent Starfleet Academy graduates. However, John Cho is 37 years old, playing the 21-year-old Sulu. Karl Urban is also 37, though he's closer to his character's official age of 30. And Zoe Saldana (Uhura) is 31.
* Harold and Kumar in ''[[Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle]] Go To White Castle''. Played straight with John Cho, who, at 30, played a character two years out of college - but averted with Kal Penn, who was a relatively age-appropriate 26. By the time the sequel came around, this trope was played straight with ''both'' actors (35 and 31 respectively, playing their characters at 24-25 since the action picks up right where the first film left off).
* Audie Murphy played himself from his late teens to early twenties in ''To Hell and Back'', made ten years later. It wasn't too bad, as he remained quite young-looking as well as short.
* The first film in the ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]'' series stars an entire cast of mid-20's actors playing 17-year-old students. Neve Campbell and [[Rose McGowan]] at 23, Skeet Ulrich, Jamie Kennedy and Matthew Lillard at 26 (older than David Arquette, who plays the 25 year old Dewey) [[Drew Barrymore]] being closest to her characters age at 21 years old. Although considering the satiric nature of the film this was probably intentional.
