I don't dislike the guy, but he's sort of Generic Handsome Guy...Jim Rockford is a wiseass. Also, Rockford itself was kind of a copy/update of Maverick. How many copies? Also, I'd have thought since Knight Rider and Bionic Woman tanked, nobody would try that anymore.
Right. Sir. Honey.

Jim Rockford is kinda unthinkable without Garner. I just can't get past that.

That's what I was thinking.

Me either, not really...hence all the conditionals. Nor Angel without Margolin, in all his love-to-hate-him glory. ETA: Besides there was already one "Rockford" homage on TV recently...it was called "Veronica Mars"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At least it's not Dylan McDermott, which is who I pictured first.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I cannot stand Dermot Mulroney. Full stop. He cannot stand in the footsteps of Garner.
I think there are actors who can, but Mulroney ain't it.

Jesse, aren't they the same person? Which I think is the real problem with this choice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think Dylan McDermott has a personality. I liked him in Deep Blue, although it was a sucky show. Dermot, considerably less distinguishable from the masses.
Grace Park has been cast in Hawaii 5-0 too. I forgot that The Cleaner was cancelled.

Those two and DB Sweeney. I have to do the Google to keep them straight.

No! DB Sweeney is magic love!
Also, toe pick.
