How Old is he supposed to be?

Just how old was Hal Carter supposed to be? I couldn't get past how old he looked and the movie lost its credibility on this point for me. He looked more like late 30s than early 20s as the character was supposed to be.

This same problem existed in the original film version of "Picnic", as far as I'm concerned. William Holden seemed too old for the part of Hal. He thought so, too.
