Yes, Andrew Robinson said they wanted a different kind of leading man.
When looking at old SN notes, posters had found transcripts of Star Trek conventions where Andrew talked about RH. It's where many of us heard about the Christmas day firing story for the first time. How when Labine and Mayer were courting Andrew for the role, they told him that the audience rooted for Frank. He liked the idea of playing a sympathetic character for a change. He said the feedback he received from that audience was positive.
Daniel Hugh Kelly's issue when he began was that he was so young. He was 25 years old-- and looked he looked 25 years old! Also noted after the first rewind was that Daniel's Frank wasn't as much of the big brother Frank that Michael Hawkins and Andrew Robinson were -- they both spent more time in sibling mode.
