Well Vilgefortz was described as "young sorcerer" meaning he was under 100y old (as was Yennefer who was around 94 and most certainly Triss who was the youngest of The Lodge) and yes, sorcerers used to "stop aging" more in their 40ties as opposed to sorceresses who chose their 30ties. Vilgefortz may be an exception and he may well be that type who looks very young even in his 40ties despite his built and masculinity.

I think every actor would like to play a character full of contradictions - in this case one of the most beautiful character physically(Sapkovski settles this for us putting Vilgefortz on par with Francesca as far as beauty is concerned) and one of the most corrupt at the same time. Cavill is probably the best option as he is that seductive type who can pull some serious freaky rabbits out of his hat(as per Tudors...). Think about Johnny Depp and all his weird/freaky/scary stuff in Tim Burton movies or his homosexual vibe in The Pirates flicks...if you have the right actor, its a goldmine. (or Robert Downey jr. as Iron Man/Sherlock).
