I've just wasted way too much time on http://actualteenadultteen.tumblr.com/ lol, they put together a picture of an actor playing 16 or 17 alongside a picture of what they actually looked like when they were were that age. It's so weird to see Hollywood's example of what passes for teenage in tv and film










I always thought Sarah and Alyson passed okay actually (well Sarah was only 2 or 3 years older than the part anyway), but Nicky and Charisma were ridiculously obvious when they were both close to 30 and still playing 16/17 wtf. And Joss did hire an actual teenager for the part of Kendra unusually, but Bianca Lawson is 31 in the second pic and still playing a teenager...

Bianca's finally playing an adult as a recurring character on Teen Wolf but two years ago she was still playing a teen on Pretty Little Liars. I couldn't believe it was her because it was like a dozen years since she was on Buffy playing the same age!

VK's hair on Mad Men is just sad--if he really does shave it, thank god!

I haven't seen him in anything other than Angel, so it is quite shocking if his hairline really is receding that badly!

And when Bianca was playing Emily on The Vampire Diaries a few years ago she barely looked much older than when she played Kendra, so weird

Vinnie has a gorgeous head of hair. They are making him shave it for the show (they make him gain weight too). Here's pictures of Vinnie in the last MM hiatus with his hairline back to normal.

I figure Matt Weiner is just bitter over his own baldness.

She still looks so young on TW, though, I thought she was Deaton's daughter for a moment.
