(Sophomore characters are big in high school series. Born in April 1981, he was 25 years old when Friday Night Lights debuted in October 2006, even though his character, Tim Riggins, was just a sophomore at the time. Taylor Kitsch is in the kind of shape no human should be in. Taylor Kitsch, Friday Night Lights Actual age: 25 It works if you don't think about it too much.Ĥ. When the spinoff Angel launched in October 1999, Carpenter went with the new show, and though the stories paid lip service to her character's age for a few episodes, producers eventually dropped all semblance of pretending she was 19 and let her dress and act her age. She didn't look remotely like a high schooler, and as the show went on, she looked less and less like a teen and more like, well, a woman in her early 30s.

It's understandable that producers would want to cast someone a little older if possible: They've probably got more acting and life experience to draw from, plus you don't have to worry about school or child labor laws if you hire someone over 18. Nobody ever really plays their age in Hollywood, but there's no lie quite as big as when adults are passed off as teens on TV.
