Leo looked like he was over 30, plus the kind of trouble maker who would normally be ejected before he set foot in the place.
Why was Leo hanging around with kids?

Not to mention the deleted scene with Kenickie & Leo duking it out on the dance floor.
shareHe was Rizzo's date.
shareExactly! We were allowed to bring in dates from neighboring towns (class of '85). I do seasonal work at a local function hall and it's wild to see how Proms have changed. Everyone is bused in, they search you, breathalyzer, no gum, adults around at all times.
shareChanges for the worse. No GUM?
shareI wouldn't go by how old the actor looked as any kind of indicator as to how old his character actually was supposed to be. Almost all the cast members who played the Rydel Senior High class were older than high school age, some quite a bit older. A few were in their 30s. So it's not unlikely that Leo/Craterface was supposed to be high school age as well, even if the actor wasn't.
I always surmised that he was the same age as kids from Rydell because the Scorpions and the T birds seemed to be rivals. I don't imagine someone in his 30s wanting to "rumble" with a bunch teenagers, so I always took it that the CraterFace and the Scorpions were a gang from a another highschool in a different part of town.
That’s the thing Leo likes best about Rydel High School girls. He keeps getting older they all stay the same age.
