A case of the actor "inhabiting" the role? It doesn't show the essence of John Sheppard or Brendan Dean, Julian Lodge or even Joe Flanigan. It works as a portrait of Andrew Webb, though.
I like when I can watch the same actor in different roles and see different people. I had a conversation with Stephen Lang once where he explained his love of not having a "type." He thought it allowed him to do so much more. Casting directors, he said, put people like Brad Pitt & Will Smith in roles because they want the "Brad-Pitt" or "Will-Smith" persona. (My rephrasing of a longer -- and better put -- explanation.) He, OTOH, got to do Civil War generals, one-armed killers, attorneys and outlaws.
While Flanigan's features are more distinctive than Lang's and so he's more recognizable on the screen, he has that same ability to make me believe I'm seeing different people.
