Rene Olsted and Tyler Ball from Still Standing, I think they played their actual ages on the show.

Stuffy Singer--Alexander Bumstead in Blondie--was ~16 at the time.

Wesley Morgan--(Chester A. Riley,) Junior in The Life Of Riley--was very obviously the same age as the character he played, as he literally grew up over the course of the first few seasons.

Don't forget Haywood Nelson from What's Happening!! When ABC premiered the show in late summer of 1976, he was 16 at the time.
