Oh sure, the rugged thing would certainly be there. After all, he stands 6’4” and carries 240 or so pounds on a frame as thick and sturdy as it is imposing, which means he’d fit the manly bill no matter the gig—or look equally at home on set for a commercial pitching domestic beer or pick-up trucks.
