Daredevil

>>93710143
His appearance was based on MacMurray. There were a lot of characters who's design was based on actors, for instance off the top of my head.:

Doctor Strange: Vincent Price
Fandral: Errol Flynn
Hogun: Charles Bronson
John Constantine: Sting
Joker: Guy from "The Man Who Laughs"

Steve McQueen as Hawkeye maybe?

Hell, even if it was later Orson Welles all you have to do is design the armor to make him look broad rather than fat.

As well, you can use dramatic lighting and camera angles to keep most of him out of frame if that's not enough.
