Hi, Amber. Welcome to HNet.

Because some of the cast may have had birthdays during filming, I've listed their ages when the first episode ('One Armed Bandits') was premiered on January 26, 1979:

John Schneider - 18 (he famously lied about his age to get the part)
Cathy Bach - 25
Tom Wopat - 27
Denver Pyle - 58
Sorrell Booke - 48
Jimmie Best - 52
Ben Jones - 37
Sonny Shroyer - 43

As you're probably aware, John turned 60 earlier this year, along with our own Roger Duke.

He's now 84, and looks pretty good for it.

I last saw him 2 years ago when he was 82 and you would have never guessed it. He is such an amazing guy. You can tell he is full of love. I understand that actors can trick folks but Sonny is genuine. He really is a man who has a ton of love in his heart and a constant genuine smile on his face.
