The cast of Ryan Murphy's Netflix comedy The Politician [1] is packed with talent from Hollywood and Broadway alike [2]. Led by Tony winner Ben Platt and costarring Hollywood A-listers such as Gwyneth Paltrow [3] and Judith Light, the show revolves around [4] an ambitious young man who is determined to become president someday. The first season [5] takes place during his high school years, and the second season takes place during his college years, but as you might have guessed, even the actors playing students are well out of their teens.
Here's our breakdown of the ages of the show's major players [6], plus those newcomers [7] whose ages we don't even know! Unfortunately, a few of the actors (Theo Germaine and Trey and Trevor Eason [8]) are so new to the industry that we don't have information on their ages yet, so stand by.

How Old Is Laura Dreyfuss, aka McAfee? 31
How Old Is Lucy Boynton, aka Astrid? 26
How Old Is Zoey Deutch, aka Infinity? 25
