Perhaps the casting department saw something that we haven't had the luxury of seeing. In any event, I hope he can, in essence, "become" Leonardo meaning learning as much as he can about who Leo is supposed to be and incorporating that into his role as Leo.

Leo is serious, disciplined, strict, and always has a "by the book" attitude. Knoxville needs to recognize that to effectively play his character. To quote Leo here, "Anything less just won't get the job done."
