Odd Casting

I was just watching S2 E13 "Drivers" and at the beginning the squad responds to a college where the star quarterback has suffered some sort of medical emergency. When Johnny calls it in, he describes the patient as being 21 years old- The guy looked considerably older, so I looked it up and it turns out the actor(Vic Mohica) would have been close to forty years old! It just seems to me a bit strange that they would cast him as a college student...

You got nothing better to do? Why don’t you start a book drive or something

Pretty standard for the times. Ever watched "Grease" or even "Beverly Hills 90210"?

Sure, twentysomethings as high school students is one thing, but a college student played by someone pushing forty is a bit extreme imo(especially since he was just a bit part...)
