shadydaveSomehow, in a surprisingly classy move, Torchwood went from considering Chad Michael Murray (lol) for their lead to casting Mekhi Pfifer! I think that counts as a WIN.
Of course, the fact that remains that he's essentially been cast as Agent Gary Stu:
He's 28, the golden boy. Has been, all his life. Harvard education, fast-tracker in the C.I.A., destined for success. Though he's never taken it easy – Rex hustles, seduces and campaigns to get where he is today. He can talk his way into anything, then charm his way out, fast. He's made a lot of enemies, but his friends and lovers would defend him to death.
He wooes women with his sensuous and god-like trombone playing. He can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. He is an expert in stucco, a veteran in love and an outlaw in Peru. -- Rex's College Application Essay
