[post_page_title]The age gap[/post_page_title]
Any fan of The Hardy Boys books knows that the elder brother Frank is 17, while the younger brother Joe is 16. Any fans of television shows like Beverly Hills 90210 or Dawson’s Creek, however, would immediately be able to tell that the two leads were way too old to be playing teenagers.
With the case of Shaun Cassidy it wasn’t so bad, as he was 19 when the show first started – technically still a teen! Parker Stevenson, however, was a different story. He was 25, and as we’ve mentioned a Princeton alum.
