Actors who stay the same age

What about John Carradine?  He seemed to be older even when he was young . . . then when he got older, he still looked older.  The guy never really looked young.  I think the "youngest" John Carradine ever looked was in BLUEBEARD, which I watched recently in a Mill Creek 50 Movie Pack.

I totally agree with all of the above.  it's spooky when you see Patrick Stewart or Denzel Washington look exactly the same decade after decade.  Then there's the Asian actor James Hong:

Blade Runner (1982)


2007

You all know the actors I'm talking about. The ones that just seem to be the same age for long periods of time, or seem like they must never have been young. A number of them come to mind for me. I'm curious how many others you all can come up with.

Patrick Stewart: I am certain he was born 50 years old.
Ed Asner: I haven't seen much of him lately, but he always seems to have been a grumpy man in his 50s/60s as long as I can remember.
Steve Martin: His premature gray has made him virtually ageless since the dawn of time.
Jeffrey Jones: This guy has been a middle-aged everyman since Ferris Bueller.

There are a few to spark the discussion. Have at it.



Didn't he die like 7 years ago?   :question:

Also, I think one reason why many actors and celebrities seem to age so gracefully is because, well, they're actors and celebrities, and they pay a lot of money to have any signs of aging spackled and stretched and ironed away.  Just sayin'....

Sissy Spacek still looks like she's an old aging 20 year old.
yeah no.

Jeffrey Jones is still alive. He is, however, now a convicted sex offender for soliciting young boys to pose for sexually explicit photos.

Kind of broke my heart, because I really liked Jeffrey Jones. But, yeah, you can't do that. Seems to have killed his career, although he is apparently still working.
Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

Jason Mewes looks relatively the same.  Jason Mewes is notable for portraying Jay (of Jay and Silent Bob fame) in Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Clerks 2.  Played in a couple other films as well.  And that's surprising, considering the amount of heroin, pills and cocaine he's done.

Also, not really an 'actor', although he's done small cameos:
"Weird Al" Yankovic looks exactly the same nowadays as he did in 1983.  Granted, he's known a bit more for the music than his acting, he's starred in the movie UHF, as well as having appearances in all three Naked Guns, a cameo in Spy Hard, a couple sitcoms, and a tv-movie.

I know he has passed now, but Leslie Nielsen never seemed to age. He looked the same in Creeepshow as he did i his much later films.

Unless you go back to his 50s-60 film where he looks very, very young.

I just saw a clip of Whoopi Goldberg on the news.

I have no idea if it was from yesterday or twenty yearsa go.
If you're an Andy Milligan fan there's no hope for you.
