28/06/2021 - 09:50 PM

It's hard to find a modern-day teenage or high-school TV show that is portrayed by a full cast of actual teenage actors. Thankfully, iCarly [1] had real teens battling puberty and first crushes, making Carly, Freddie, and Sam extremely relatable. It was like watching a show about your way cooler friends who had access to their very own computer and a sweet attic. Although iCarly [2] ended in 2012 (with Miranda Cosgrove's iconic finale dress [3]), it's almost impossible to forget the show's original cast. However, with the arrival of the more inclusive iCarly reboot [4], we can finally re-experience the charm of the original series with a fresh perspective. If you're still feeling a bit nostalgic, here's what each iCarly cast member was up to when the show made its debut on Nickelodeon in 2007.

How Old Was Jerry Trainor on iCarly?

Drake & Josh superfans may know Jerry Trainor as "Crazy Steve," but to us, he's Carly Shay's beloved older brother, Spencer. When the pilot episode for iCarly [5] aired, he was 30 years old, making him the oldest member of the cast.

How Old Was Jennette McCurdy on iCarly?

At 15 years old, Jennette McCurdy was the eldest of the iCarly [6] web show trio. Prior to the series, McCurdy made numerous television appearances on a variety of shows like Malcolm in the Middle and Will & Grace. Two years before she made audiences laugh as Sam Puckett on iCarly, McCurdy landed a small role on Zoey 101 as Trisha Kirby, a troublemaking student at Pacific Coast Academy.

How Old Was Nathan Kress on iCarly?

Nathan Kress was 14 years old when iCarly [7] debuted on television, making him roughly six months older than his costar Miranda Cosgrove. His role as Freddie Benson was the actor's first major television gig, though he did play an extra in one episode of Drake & Josh in 2007.

How Old Was Miranda Cosgrove on iCarly?

Miranda Cosgrove was 14 years old when iCarly [8] originally aired on Nickelodeon. As the show was beginning, her role as Megan, the infamous little sister on Drake & Josh, was coming to an end. The finale for Drake & Josh aired in September 2007, which was around the same time iCarly premiered. That year, Cosgrove also guest starred in an episode of Zoey 101 as Paige Howard, an extremely intelligent student.

How Old Was Noah Munck on iCarly?

The youngest of the bunch, Noah Munck was 11 years old when he joined the iCarly [9] cast as the hilarious Gibby Gibson. iCarly was his first big TV credit. While Gibby started off as a recurring character, he eventually became a series regular after the show entered its fourth season.
