I remember reading something about this being the reason the characters in Watchmen were cast as much younger actors, that way the same actors could be used for a scene in that takes place in the 60's as a scene in the 80's
I suppose you just countered the comment I was about to make anout Jet Li seeming a bit young for Shiro, I always pictured Shiro as looking sonething like Mr Miyagi, the stereotypical "old, wise martial arts master look". (which I might add, none of the 3 "old, wise martial arts masters" I've met have.)

I always had Mr. Miyagi in mind. :D
But since that actor passed away, yeah. Jet Li is pretty solid.
I will note that "aging up" only works if you're artificially aging someone from "adulthood" to "later adulthood". Like, 20s to 50s, or something. Too young, and it'll look fake.
And I dunno, I could see Oldman pulling off Nicky boy.

Now that you mention her... she might be able to do Man or Lea
I don't know why, this just suddenly popped into my mind, but one of the Mothers should be Betty White.
