Casting Call For Thor

What is Kenneth Branagh looking for in a Thor?

No Caption Provided
Joe Quesada has publicly stated a few times that Kenneth Branagh really "gets" Thor.  He understands where he's coming from and what he's about.  Back in December, he stated that they weren't anywhere near casting.  Now it seems the casting call has been put out.

Corona Coming Attractions has posted what was listed on the casting call for Thor.  This is what Branagh and the producers are looking for.
Male MUST BE MID-LATE 20'S and SIX FEET OR TALLER. LEAD.

Physically powerful, very handsome, occasionally egotistical, petulant, and wild. A natural warrior with a quick charming wit who must be genuinely and severly humbled before becoming the compassionate, mature her of our film.

I would've thought Thor was older than his mid-twenties.  Anyone out there fit the bill?  Don't ask me where to apply to.  Talk to your agent.  The good thing about this is they could be going with an unknown.  Sure your high profile actors would see this same casting call but I'd rather the right person get the role instead of some big-name Hollywood actor that might resemble Thor in a tiny bit.

Who are your suggestions?
