Indeed, when you get into the guest stars and incidental roles, no one would seriously allege that the actors look like those characters. The covers of Big Finish audios use the images of the actors in order to sell the product. The Black Guardian doesn't actually look like David Troughton, but his face is on the cover in order to attract an audience that knows what his face looks like. (raises hand)
