Well again, it's the action that's going to be the bigger hurdle for me than the drama. Roger Cross is a BIG guy. Kiefer isn't big, but you know he's all wiry muscle and he's super intense. Carlos has a height advantage and he got solid muscle underneath. Ricky was coming off NYPD Blue, so he had that going for him.
Unless FPJ has gotten a lot more buff since I've seen him, like James McAvoy going from Mr Tumnus to Wanted kind of buff, his build is working against him. Annie had the same intial problem, simply being a woman, but she had enough dance training to know how to her body really well, so the speed at which she moved sold the action.
On top of that, one thing that Kiefer, Carlos and Annie all do really well is to harden their looks whenever they're in the field. It's in the eyes; they're sort of piercing and intense without being robotic, even if the action is only about to take place. They're always "on" so to speak. Again, going with Annie as an example because it's the most apparent, there's a WORLD of difference between Renee and Annie. Annie's eyes are light where Renee's are almost always heavy with whatever emotions she's feeling.
FPJ's not only got a baby face but his eyebrows and especially the way he widens his eyes, sometimes make him come across as a wet-behind-the-ears rookie. Which is the opposite of an ex-Marine.
So *shrugs* I dunno.
True, and we saw that clip of her in that other Real Time Productions show that never went anywhere and were all uh...
Yeah. For those who haven't seen it btw, here you go. (http://www.anniewersching.net/2009/05/21/annie-wersching-in-company-man/)
