I don't see how Branden's face is any less generic looking than Sandhurst or Jonathan's.

I personally, think Jonathan and Branden are both the same generic type of model that's out on the market right now, and think Sandhurst would stand out over both. That may also come from the lack of good African-American male models to begin with.

Seriously, other than Tyson Beckford, I can't name any other prominent African-American male model.

Branden has a bit of a thuggish look to him at first. With a twist of hs head, though, he can look very boyish. I agree that he is more distinctive than Sandhurst or JonJon. That "is he really cute, or is he kinda fug" thing works for him, in a modelling perspective. I also, again, think his LACK of muscles works in his favor: Designers want you looking at the clothes, not the biceps.

Branden's look is current. Muscles have nothing to do with it. Tyson, Marcus, etc. all had crazy muscles when they were at the top of their game. The difference now is that it's no longer in vogue. Designers now like their male models as gaunt and as thin as their female models.
