Kelly Shanygne Williams (Laura Winslow) was older than Darius McCrary (Eddie Winslow) on Family Matters - Very surprising if you watch the early seasons

Jon Cryer is a couple of months older than Charlie Sheen, but Charlie is older on Two and A Half Men

Beverly Mitchell (Lucy Camden) is acually older than Jessica Biel (Mary Camden) from Seventh Heaven

Tracy Gold was older than Kirk Cameron on Growing Pains but Mike was older than Carol

Jonathan Taylor Thomas was older than Zachary Ty Bryan on Home Improvement but Brad was older than Randy.

Any others?

Justin Berfield played Reese, Malcolm's (Frankie Muniz) 2nd oldest brother on "Malcolm in the Middle."

But in real-life Frankie Muniz is actually older than Justin Berfield by 2 months.

Caley Cuoco is younger than Amy Davidson but played her older sister on "8 Simple Rules".

I was just going to mention that

Petticoat Junction - Lori Saunders (middle child Bobbie Jo) was older than both Meredith MacRae & Gunilla Hutton (oldest child Billie Jo). Meredith & Gunilla were the same age as Linda Kaye Henning (youngest child Betty Jo) and Pat Woodell (Bobbie Jo #1).

Happy Days - Ron Howard was a month older than Gavan O'Herlihy (Chuck Cunningham #1).

I don't think this example counts since it's a movie and not a TV show, but Esai Morales played Lou Diamond Phillips' older brother in La Bamba. In real life, Lou Diamond Phillips is older than Esai Morales by about 7-8 months.

I started the thread, so I say it counts.

Also, Sarah Chalke, who replaced Lecy Goranson in the role of Becky Conner on Roseanne is actually younger than Sara Gilbert, who played Darlene Conner, even though Becky is older than Darlene.

OK, thanks. :D

If I'm not mistaken, Courtney Cox is older than David Schwimmer even though on "Friends", Courtney was the younger Geller sibling.

I was going to mention that, too!!

Yeah, Courtney is actually 2 years older than David.

Esai Morales

:grineyes:

:grineyes:
He co-starred in 1998's The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit with MY guy, Gregory Sierra (:eyes:).

Oh yeah?;)

Esai was also in a movie called Bad Boys with Sean Penn. One scene in the movie that bothers me though is when Esai's character rapes Ally Sheedy's character. I know it's just a movie but...things like that bother me. I've liked Esai in everything else though!!

Just like Keifer Sutherland is one of my favorite actors(despite his personal problems), but I can't watch "Eye for an Eye" because to me, he plays this despicable character. Same goes for Keifer, I like him in everything else.

Peter Gallagher played Bill Pullman's older brother in While You Were Sleeping. In real life, Bill Pullman is about 2 years older than Peter Gallagher.

Eight is Enough - Laurie Walters played 3rd oldest sibling Joannie despite not only being older than Grant Goodeve (who played David) and Lani O'Grady (who played Mary), but also Betty Buckley (who played stepmother Abby).

On Another World, Beverly Penberthy played Pat Matthews Randolph, oldest of Jim and Mary Matthews' children. Ms. Penberthy was born in 1949, while the actors playing her younger siblings were older - Jacqueline Courtney (Alice #1) and Susan Harney (Alice #2) were both born in 1946, and Sam Groom (Russ #2) and David Bailey (Russ #4) were born in 1939 and 1933, respectively. I have no idea what the ages are for the other actors who played Alice and Russ (Wesley Ann Pfenning, Vana Tribbey, Linda Borgeson, and Robert Hover). Come to think of it, I don't even have a birthdate for Susan Trustman, who originated the role of Pat.

On another defunct soap, ABC's Ryan's Hope, Ron Hale (now GH's Mike) and the late Nancy Addison portrayed siblings Roger and Jillian Coleridge. Jill was older than Roger by a year. In real life, Ron Hale was born 2 years before Nancy Addison.
