And here's a shot of the two of them from Season 1.

Jesus Jetskiing Christ, look at them! They look like kids with their little baby faces. This image is only five years old– so why do they look twenty years younger here?

I guess living in a zombie apocalypse tends to prematurely age a fellow. Probably not a lot of time to apply sunscreen or moisturizer when you're being chased by shambling corpses, psychotic administrators and hungry cannibals.
