Was watching an old episode of The Twilight Zone, main character was supposed to be 25, I swear he looked 40+ easily.
The first season of The Sopranos, James Gandolfini was only 36 or 37 when they were filming it. He looked 50 easily
Maybe that was the Charles Bronson episode.
They wore clothes that looks 40+ years old since they were from a different time.
The actors aren't.
Dawson Casting was even more severe back when the Twilight Zone aired. The Old School!
I wonder if Dawson Casting is quite right though. I'm thinking here of an actor playing a man in his mid 20s, but looking much older. Whether he was or not, I'm not sure, but flipping through Wikipedia's transcripts of the opening narrations of the first season episodes, I see:
E21 has Vera Miles playing a 25 year old when she's 30.
E31 has George Grizzard playing someone in his "youthful 20s" when he's about 32 and looks it.
Seems similar, but also different: older actors playing younger people.
