Is he really the correct actor for Dr Mccoy?
He is cool and all but in the original stories Dr Mccoy was NOT physically tough and Kirk or Spock could very easily beat him up.
However, Karl Urban is buffed, I saw him shirtless (he was naked but the camera did not go too far down which is good since I am a heterosexual with a big fetish for NOT seeing men naked) in the Loft and damn does he work out!! I suspect the actor is physically stronger than Zack Quinto even though Vulcans are supposed to be much stronger than humans and Benedict Cumbernach even though he was the super strong Khan. Kirk is supposed to be a badass and even though he kept getting beaten up in the 2009 movie those fights were kind of unfair. Just as boxing has "weight divisions" you kind of need "species divisions" in sci fi since Vulcans and Romulans are supposed to be much stronger than humans on average, and in the bar fight he was outnumbered 4 to one. The Kirk character is supposed to be tougher than most humans though and I believe he would have won that bar fight easily had it been any ONE of the 4 punks (maybe even 2 of them) but as Mayagi said in Karate Kid "4 to 1 problem too much to ask of anyone". Anyway, he is supposed to be a badass but in a real life fight my money would be on the much stronger Karl Urban.
I wonder if they will have to make him wear extra baggy clothes to hide the muscles? Maybe ask him not to work out right before filming so he is not "pumped up"?
