It sure didn't look like Meeker.

I saw the Code Two clip on YouTube. Were they grooming him to be Brando "type". His mouth looked completely different when he is talking with Keenan on the bikes.
Some sites say Meeker -who took over for Brando- played Stanley in Streetcar more to what Williams had in mind. We're not told what that meant-

Early in his film career, Meeker tended to play outgoing, cocky types and was not as dark, brooding and brutish as Brando in Streetcar. Meeker had tremendous charisma on screen, but I can't see him as a "Brando type". Also, he was four years older than Brando and already in his early 30s by the time Code Two was made (although he looks younger).
