Many teen series use older actors to portray their characters. AlloCiné even created a file for it to be found right here. If the gap can be several years, sometimes it can exceed 10 years difference between the main character and his interpreter. And in this little game, the Outer Banks is strong.
The Netflix series, which follows a group of treasure hunters, has landed a promising cast. Starting with Madelyn Cline, who we saw at Glass Onion last December. He’s surrounded here by Chase Stokes, who was expected to play Steve in Stranger Things until he dropped out, Madison Bailey, Rudy Pankow and Jonathan Davis. A group better known to fans as the Pogues. Their common denominator is that they are all in their thirties, while their characters are not yet of legal drinking age…
Chase Stock (John B)
His real age: 30 years
His character’s age: 17 years old
If we stay on the teenage side, Chase Stokes is the oldest actor in the series. He is still 13 years away from John B! But with his surfer look and Hawaiian shirts, it goes pretty well.
Madeline Klein Sarah
His real age: 25
His character’s age: 16
Jonathan Davis Pope
His real age: 24
His character’s age: 16
Rudy Pankow (Jay)
His real age: 24
His character’s age: 16
Madison Bailey as Ciara
His real age: 24
His character’s age: 16
Drew Stark Rafe
His real age: 29 years
His character’s age: 19
Whoever plays Sarah’s (crazy) brother can count on his beautiful, beautiful style to rejuvenate. And yet, he plays a young man 10 years younger. Long live the makeover.
Austin North (Topper)
His real age: 26 years
His character’s age: 16
Julia Antonelli (Viz)
His real age: 20
His character’s age: 13 years old
Even if this is a character we see very little of (if at all in Season 3), we had to include Wheezie on the list. Reason ? Over 20 years old, Julia Antonelli was cast as a child… 13 years old. Glasses and hops, the case is played.
