I might have to disagree with both of you on both counts. What matters above all I think is the performance, and there's no doubt in my mind that Ian Holm did a mind-blowing job as Bilbo. He captured the character perfectly and I didn't think he was too old. Remember, although he appeared slightly older, he is 111 at this point! Most hobbits don't live this long and they certainly don't look as good as Bilbo. The ring does not stop the aging process, just slows it. Look at Gollum; even though the ring prolonged his life, it didn't prolong his looks, did it? All of this is moot, however, in the light of an incredible performance by Holm. As for Theoden, while he could have been older, he didn't necessarily need to be. Men of Rohan (especially the royal court) have blonde hair and maybe I'm imagining it but I thought Tolkein described him with blonde hair. I could be making that up, though. And, again, Bernard Hill's performance is wonderful. Don't expect you to agree with me, just thought I'd share.
