Oldest teenager on tv

CastorTroy

So I started watching Pretty Little Liars since MTV started it from the beginning and I see Bianca Lawson starring as a 16 or 17 year old. I remember her as Kendra the Vampire Slayer and also being at school with Dawson Leary.
Looking at her imdb, she's 32 years old.

So was wondering who's the oldest person you remember playing a teenager?

From what I can think of this guy wins: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Earles

He is really babyfaced!

The main 90210 (first incarnation) were very old. Luke Perry was 25 when it started.

Not on tv but Stockard Channing (34 in Grease) deserves an honourable mention.

90210 tried to have the guy pass as a high school student and he looked way older than Luke Perry from the original show

sorry can't think of tv only movies

Gina Holden played a teenager in Final Destination 3 when she was 31

actually just thought of a few

Tom Welling in Smallville was playing a teenager until the later seasons of the show when he was in his early 30's

also Paul Weller in The Vampire Diaries is still playing a teenager and is 30

Young actors must be cursing the adults.

Gabrielle Cartiris (Andrea Zuckerman) was the oldest as she was 29 when the series started so was 32 as a graduating high-school senior. It was especially funny as the guy who played Brandon and Brenda's dad was only 35 when the series started. The other girls, David and even Brandon were only a few years older than their characters.

i've always loved this quote from American Dad about 90210

'a magical place where the kids are in their 30s and the parents are in their 40s'

Cory Monteith, the guy who plays Finn in Glee is 30.

According to the internet Barbra Streisand wins this as her character in Yentl was meant to be in her teens and Streisand was 41.

I think Stacey Dash of Clueless fame wins this. She played a 16 year old up until the age of 33.

Not TV but I just like to throw in that Alan Ruck was 29 when he played Cameron Frye in Ferris Bueller.

Not tv but check out most American films from the 30s - 50s, loads of 40 somethings playing students etc, hilarious.
