You have a good point about the advanced baldness. I could argue that than many men have problems of baldness at an earlier age, but you could argue that many men in their 50's have newborn children.
As for his position, I wonder: what does "Chief" exactly mean? In the Italian version he is said to be a commissario ("commissioner"), while Detective Casey (who takes orders from O'Hara) is said to be an ispettore ("inspector"); on the other hand, Inducks says that O'Hara is an inspector. Something similar happens in the English localization of the Italian book series and tv series about commissario Montalbano, in which he is referred to as "inspector Montalbano", despite the fact that in the original version the title ispettore is given to a character who takes orders from Montalbano. I don't know the exact differences between Italian police ranks and American police ranks (actually, I know virtually nothing about ranks at all), but I wonder if there was a particular reason for these changes. Anyway, I think that Montalbano became a commissario when he was in his 30's.
