Didn't really notice it, would have guessed more like a 20 year difference.

He did look old for 38. He looked more in the 45-50 range.
And Annie was 28 playing a high school girl.

There's something off about the whole town. A sheriff sires a family at age 10 and a kid at age 6 becomes a catatonic, knife-wielding maniac after seeing his sister topless.

Well, technically she is playing an 18 year old student, so I suppose in the Halloween movie universe he's supposed to be 20 years older than her. She wasn't playing a 28 year old in the movie.

But still it's funny.
