Sometimes the details mean less than the nature of the character.
I agree completely! Selleck is fantastic as Jesse Stone. He's also great in Blue Bloods. You're exactly right, the best results come from casting someone who can embody the character and you don't sweat the minor details such as height and hair color.
This is why I think actors like Ryan Gosling and Michael Fassbender are the right direction for Jack. You want someone who can look completely average and normal one moment, then scary intense the next.
