Commander Massoud was totally miscast

It would be accurate for a portrayal of Massoud from the early 1980s:

But around 2000 was looking more like that: http://ahmadshahmassoud.free.fr/massoud/imagesdemassoud_fichiers/masso udimage2.jpg

I had a similar problem with always-young Hitler in Hitler: Rise of Evil.

Interesting pictures, thanks for posting the links. However, I think the actor cast as Massoud was pretty close to the real person in appearance especially given it is next to impossible to find actors who are spot on.
