Both of them aged more than SMG, ironically enough. Although it didn't really bother me, since I knew they were actors and so bound to change a bit. I could pretty much ignore it, like the breathing and the lame CGI.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Let us just be thankful that neither Spike nor Angel was canonically vampirized at age 17, and thus an era of really bad Dawson's Creek elderly-teenager jokes were avoided.

Makes sense, tho. JM went from 36 to 44, while DB was 28 when Buffy started, and 37 when it ended. These are the ages when time really starts to show.

Dang. That's why I'm starting to look so old. And wow! I never would have guessed that JM was older than DB. How horrible is it that I didn't know this already.

I think G got the ages off by 2 years in each case (DB's my SiL's age, IIRC--35, and I think Marsters is a year or two younger than my sister, putting him in his early 40s), but, yeah, JM was the oldest of the AtS cast.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Marsters hid his age really, really well for a lot of years. But all the working out for his nude scenes in Season 6 seems to have triggered accelerated aging.
Which, come to think of it, would have worked great if he'd been playing one of the vampires in The Hunger.

You tend to look older if you're lean. Seriously. A little fat fills in the wrinkles.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
they should have explained it with a reference to his new souledness. A little evil also fills in the wrinkles.
