It honestly depends on the role and the actor. If an actor or actress looks much older or younger than their actual age, then they should play a role made for someone older than them, seeing as they’d be more believable as someone older than them anyway.
Look at Phylicia Rashad. She was 36 when she played Claire Huxtable in The Cosby Show.

However, Phylicia looked about 10 years older than that. In real life, she was 11 years younger than Bill Cosby but their age difference wasn’t noticeable because she looked like she was around Cosby’s age, even if she actually wasn’t.
