Age today mostly tracks how long ago a show premiered. At their first premiere, the casts are much closer in age.

Not charted yet, because fewer than half the cast has a known birthday: Rhode Island (2 of 7), Dallas (3 of 9).

Ages are averages, rounded to whole years, as of November 6, 2026. "First premiere" is the premiere of the first season she has a tagline in. Birthdays come from articles and profile pages we read, and they stay off this site: no one's birthday or age is published here, only the averages.
