I think you're worrying a little too much about this. If their faces are the only things that are similar, then you're perfectly fine. Plenty of comic book characters have been modelled after real-world people without any legal issues - famously, Nick Fury was modelled after Samuel L Jackson several years before Jackson started playing him in the films.

I'd expect that, if the man from the documentary ever read your book, he might notice the physical similarity, but he would never guess that the character was actually inspired by him, and he would have no legal basis to sue you even if he did. The characters seem different enough that there's no chance of confusing one with the other.
