Shiri Appleby, Katherine Heigl, and Nick Wechsler were 20; Colin Hanks and Brendan Fehr were 21; and Jason Behr was 25. Only Majandra Delfino and Emilie De Ravin (both 18) were teens when they started their tenures on the show.
  • Fake American: Emilie de Ravin, who plays Tess, is actually Australian. While de Ravin later gained American citizenship, she didn't have this at the time of the show.
    • Brendan Fehr, who plays Michael, is Canadian, and thus is also technically an example.
  • The Other Darrin: Mr. Evans is one actor on episode 2 and then changed by another for the rest of the series, commonly known in fandom as The Fake Mr. Evans.
  • Referenced by...: In Dawson's Creek, Jen mentions to Pacey that Roswell's on in 5 minutes ("Escape From Witch Island").
