"I told him that he had the presence of those old-time male movie stars," Hanson says. "I get in trouble saying it but today, there are so many waifs and boys. I didn't care about that for this. Booth's a sniper; he's an FBI agent. He's lived the life. I want a man with some heft, and David has that."
"And David's not pretty. David's handsome. If you're going somewhere dangerous, you want David."
And as a bonus, both in life and on the screen, Boreanaz can be very funny.
"Very dry humor," Hanson says. "He can do things with a flick of his eyeballs. I think of him as one of those old-time movie stars, Gary Cooper, Steve McQueen. He's got shoulders a yard wide. He's a force in the room."
"Booth's very black and white," Boreanaz says. "He believes that all men are created equal. He's a public-school guy, doesn't believe in private school. He doesn't think people should be catered to. He goes with his gut. His instincts are 100 percent correct, or so he may think."

"”This does sound kinda interesting. So DB's character will be like a McQueen, Cooper, Eastwood type? A quiet man of action, not too much reflection. That's a change of pace from Angel of course. Angel had those moments but also so much self-loathing and self-doubting at times.
He'll be a down-to-earth badass skeptic I guess
