** ''Series/BetterCallSaul'', being a prequel series that was produced after ''Breaking Bad'' ended, uses this extensively.
*** Jimmy [=McGill=] is 42-44 during the series. Creator/BobOdenkirk was 52 when filming the first season and 58 when filming the last. Extensive makeup, wigs, and DigitalDeaging are used to make Odenkirk look closer to 40 than 60, but Odenkirk himself also pulls off the look convincingly. Flashbacks stretch as far back as to Jimmy in his late ''twenties''. These are slightly less convincing, but they're still excusable since the only other option would be to have a different actor portray him, which would be even more distracting.
*** Chuck is in his late fifties (as the dialogue when he's admitted to the hospital in "Klick" makes clear), but Michael [=McKean=] was 66 when the first season was shot. It's suggested that Chuck's increased age is [[PrematurelyGreyHaired the result of the stress of the job]]. It also works to show why Jimmy had so much respect for Chuck: he worked hard until his hair turned grey, and didn't fall for the same pitfalls that affected their father.
*** According to their driver's licenses in "JMM", Jimmy was born in 1960, making him two years older than Bob Odenkirk; while Kim was born in 1968, making her four years older than Rhea Seehorn.
*** Mike is in his late fifties. Jonathan Banks was 67 when the first season was filmed and 75 by the time the show ended. Unlike Jimmy and Chuck, the cast and crew make no attempt to hide this (though in fairness he doesn't look ''that'' much older than he was when he first was playing the character), and Mike is referred to and portrayed as an old man considerably more than in ''Breaking Bad''.
*** Gustavo Fring is supposed to be in his late 40s/early 50s. Creator/GiancarloEsposito was 57 at the time of season 3's filming, and the wrinkles on his face are very obvious. In season 5, many of his scenes show his face partly obscured by darkness to disguise his aging.
*** Tuco looks significantly older than he did in ''Breaking Bad'', despite it being 6 years earlier.
*** Huell generally looks younger due to Lavell Crawford's newfound fitness (similar to Bob Odenkirk), but in Season 4, he looks somewhat older due to grey hair.
*** Downplayed with Creator/MarkMargolis as Hector Salamanca; while Margolis was 76 during Season 2 despite Hector being in his mid-60s, he actually does look younger than he did in ''Breaking Bad'', where Hector was made up to look much older and more decrepit than Margolis did in real-life.
*** Interestingly, Kim is also a case of this (especially in later seasons) having a similar age gap with Jimmy as her actor does with Odenkirk despite not being in ''Breaking Bad''. Rhea Seehorn was 42 when the first season was filmed while Kim was 34. It has been suggested by fans that the casting of Rhea Seehorn was partially in order to not make the difference in age between Kim's actress and Bob Odenkirk as noticeable.
*** For their two episodes in season 5, Hank Schrader and Steve Gomez get this. It's not really noticeable on Creator/DeanNorris, but it's more noticeable on Creator/StevenMichaelQuezada, who noticeably has the goatee that Gomez sported from ''Breaking Bad'' season 4 onwards rather than the clean-shaven look he had in seasons 1-3, probably to hide the aging.
*** [[spoiler:By the time of their cameo, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul were 66 and 42 respectively, even though their appearance in "Breaking Bad" takes place during the original show's second season where Walt is 50 and Jesse is in his early 20s. It's not incredibly visible on Walt (in part because of the ski mask hiding his unshaved head), but Jesse looks and sounds ''decades'' older than he did before, much like he did on ''Film/ElCamino''. That said, Paul does manage to sound a bit younger when playing Jesse in "Waterworks".]]

[[Recap/OnlyFoolsAndHorsesS1E01BigBrother Big Brother]] (the first episode) also established there was a 13-year gap between Del and Rodney. Later in the show's run, however, [[Recap/OnlyFoolsAndHorsesS9E03SleeplessInPeckham Sleepless in Peckham]] mentioned that Del was 15 in July 1960 (suggesting a birth of 1945) while Rodney had not been born yet. The school reunion episode has a banner celebrating class 4C (from context, the fourth year of secondary school) of 1962, meaning Del, Trigger, Boycie, and Denzil would all have been around 14 that year. The prequel ''Series/RockAndChips'' similarly has Del as 15 in 1960, supporting a birth year around 1945, with Rodney not born until later that year.
