Knight Rider movie looks like it's gonna suck, Male lead looks like a wuss Options

[Wounded Ronin]

I think that the upcoming Knight Rider TV movie is going to suck on the basis that the male lead looks like a wuss. See photo and blurb here: http://www.nbc.com/Knight_Rider/bios/index.shtml

This guy just looks like a handsome movie star type. If he and David Hasslehoff got into the Thunderdome, Hasslefhoff would win at the one minute and thirty second mark by Sufforcating Teabag. Bruening, in the picture, looks like he should be a hairdresser, or perhaps primping at a gay bar.

The character he plays is supposed to be this jaded ex Army Ranger. But, see, Rangers are supposed to be tough. Now, when you look at that picture, what's the first thing you think? Is it "tough" or is it "metrosexual"? The looks is not believable for the character.

Why have the people casting these things seemingly lost touch with the Conans and the Rambos? If you look at Stallone in Rambo 4, he looks *tough*. If you look at Arnie in Conan the Barbarian, you don't look at him and immediately feel underwhelmed by a sensation of wussiness.

Knight Rider is about an intelligent car so it's presumably directed more at men rather than women as a target audience. I could understand a metrosexual looking male lead if the show was supposed to appeal to women. But as a male if a character is supposed to be a hard-bitten ranger I want him to look more along the lines of Rambo in Rambo 4. Seriously. How can I exult in his heroicness or his epic toughness when he looks like the damn hairdresser? How can I believe he's a hard bitten combat vet if he looks so utterly metrosexual and preoccupied with his appearance?
