They don't look like government agent types at all. I don't even know what that look is. Boyd and Benicio have played all types of roles. I think the cool thing about being an actor is like...the fact that you can like play varied kinds of roles.
With respect, I didn't say "they only look like government agent types." I said they fit the look of a government agent type (evidence being Sicario [throughout the movie BDT is an operative working with Bolin's CIA character, only to be revealed later] and Narcos [Boyd=DEA agent] along with P2).
If you don't think they fit that mold that's fine but how could you think that if you claim there is no look for it?
I don't think Boyd or Benicio have played a role that called for them to have a significant amount of muscle mass. Point being if you're looking for an "Arnold" or "Dwayne Johnson" type for your action film, their names don't immediately come to mind.
I'd also like to point out that when I implied the type of role I see Boyd playing, I meant
in this film. I'm well aware that actors can play varied kinds of roles throughout their careers. However, assuming this plot isn't a simple hunt, I still stand by what I said about the main character being in a similar occupational position as Peter Keyes. They clearly weren't casting for a character who is an active Navy SEAL otherwise they'd never go for Del Toro in the first place.
