Yeah, I agree the bots are genuinely "more fleshy"and with skin and such - just saying where my imagination was at - which thanks to the wonder of books can be quite different for different people.
I wish we knew what the motivation was for choosing the actor. The cynic in me thinks they opted obviously male lead to reduce friction and claims of "wokeness" but without some inside insight we can't know.
I think commercially, they needed a known actor and who can not only look genderless, but sound it? It is easier in books.
