I'd never really closely followed Doctor Who until Tennant came on the scene, but it wasn't really until his second season, finally free of the burden that was Rose, that he really got me thinking "Yep, this is it." But I was sold on Matt Smith during his opening scenes with little Amelia Pond.
You know a 27 year old trying to play a 900 year old isn't that much different than a 34 year old trying to play a 900 year old.

I don't think it depends on that nebulous and problematic concept of "life experience" at all; I think it depends on something called "acting ability."

And as someone who's worked in and studied theatre for five years, I can tell you that I tend to find that the actors who have the best acting ability are the ones with the most life experience.

Oh I'm so reminded of the (supposed) comment Laurence Olivier made to Dustin Hoffman when they were making Marathon Man...

But on the other hand, you have people like Daniel Day-Lewis or Robert DeNiro who have focussed on their acting to the extent of putting their personal lives second. Admittedly, DD-L is now the happily married father of two boys, but he was just as great an actor as an intense 20-something. DeNiro once said in interview something along the lines that he had the choice at one stage of being a great actor or a person with a full, three dimensional life - he chose the former.
I don't think you can generalise - some people become great actors thanks to life experience, some are inherently brilliant and others develop it at the expense of life experience.
