No, it shouldn't. But in some spaces, I think having a youthful appearance is at odds with the "look" many want in a stereotypical director with salt and pepper hair, wrinkles and some eye bags

No. I don't think it is necessary to consider age as a criteria. Do he have the necessary qualifications?

Age should not matter. But how you act and look matters. If you look and act your young age but you are smart, I won’t promote you.
