People do realize these are actors right? Who cares what the fuck they look like if they’re convincing in their role.

Immersion and consistency are also factors for some. I would expect a drastic change in personality to be written well, and similarly I would expect a drastic change in appearance to be beliavable in some way. People of certain appearances can also be very immersion-breaking in certain contexts (and of course this is effect is not limited to just appearances). (I'm probably in the minority, but I'm also a guy who doesn't like, say, seeing a ton of sub-machine guns in World War I games because of the immersion thing, to take one example I've seen that's not related to identity.)
