Tbh the casting that impressed me even more than young Snow White was young Cora. Even though I knew the show could never pull off that kind of cgi, I had to check if they cast a different actress or deaged the original actress through movie magic.
Another casting that was just perfect are teenage Alex and Kara Danvers. The young actresses look so similar and they copy the mannerisms and way of speaking etc of adult Alex and Kara perfectly.

While it isnt quite the same as this category since they are different shows, Zoe Perry as Mary Cooper on Young Sheldon deserves a special mention.
Perry perfectly captures every essence of the character as portrayed on the Big Bang Theory, which should not be that surprising since Mary was played by her real-life mom on Big Bang.
Not quite the spirit of this list, but still very noteworthy.

New Edition Biopic casting of each member of the iconic group was THEE best young to old casting Ive ever seen. Not only did the younger versions of Ronnie Devoe, Ricky Bell, Bobby Brown, Mike Bivens, and Ralph Tresvant nail the older versions, but the older versions along with the young man portraying Johnny Gill absolutely NAILED the likeness of the real life guys they were portraying.

I've always been completely impressed with the older actresses they found to play all the women in A League of Their Own (movie. They were in the movie only briefly, but I remember thinking back then that the makeup department completely outdid themselves before finding out that they were completely different women.

the actress who plays the younger sabrina has different shaped eyes than the older one. the younger one has eyes which are curved at the upper area and straight at the bottom, like a sideways capital D. i remember her from young sheldon, and cant unsee that now. but that just just nitpicking.

Say what you will about the movie, namely because it's a Shyamalan film, but I'm so surprised Old wasn't on here. The kid, teen, and adult versions of the two main kids are incredible! They look so much like each other in all three stages! No joke.

Tall,
You should've included Stan Edgar and his younger self (actors) from the boys season 3. The younger actor got all of Giancarlo Esposito's mannerisms to a T right down to the voice. It was eerie. Easily trumps any on your list tbh

Kirsten Nelson as the young Mrs. Delores Landingham in the Two Cathedrals episode of The West Wing absolutely nails the performance of the President's longtime secretary, portrayed in the series by Kathryn Joosten.

Hill house's Shirley was PERFECT and deserves much better. Everyone cast in that show was spot on but Shirley? And the DAD? For the first 6 episodes I thought it was the same guy with age makeup or cg de-aging

Ellar Coltrane from Boyhood should've been an honorable mention, not for its casting (since it's just a single actor, but a prime example of an actual aging process in a film (12 years.

The fact that this list doesnt include the cast of Dark proves how little Americans care about good shows besides the things that they create that often times are not as good as they think

Of all the This is Us cast and you go with the Kates? I think there are way better examples. Beth and Uncle Nicky for sure at least. Though teenage Kate DOES nail the mannerisms for sure.

Darnell Besaw as Young Echo in Hawkeye should be on the list.
the casting is just amazing, and the fact that the Young Actress is Alaqua Cox's Real Life Cousin is Insane.

I legit thought that little actress from Sheldon was the adult Sabrina actress. I thought she grew up and I was very confused. Glad to know they're two different people.

No Supernatural? Colin (who played young Sam) looked more like Jared Padalecki's Sam then s10 Sam looked like S1 sam (while S1/S10 Sams were of course the same actor)

You forgot to mention Jared Padalecki and Colin Ford. Colin plays a young Sam in Supernatural. They look so much alike that Colin played young Jared again in Walker

But nothing beats Netflix Dark when it comes to young and old casting. The show flawlessly nailed all characters in 3 stages of their life (young, adolescent, adult.

Totally agree with the top pick. Literally before Kiernan Shipka was Sabrina and she was and looked much more childlike, I used to confuse her for McKenna Grace.

I really thought you were gonna say Georgie Henley playing the younger - and Ruth Wilson playing the older - in the 2006 4 episode version of Jane Eyre.

Alex and Kara in 'Supergirl', from Season 3 onwards. Those younger actresses look so much like the main ones, it's scary.
