John Gavin was 29 when Psycho was filmed (i.e., not middle-aged), and there's no in-story indication that Sam is supposed to be any older.

None


* BlatantLies: Most of his dialogue about how he truly loves both Marion and Madeleine is this since he's cheating on both. This is especially apparent when he tells Norman that deep down he's a good guy while nonchalantly threating him under the same breath.
