Noah,
It's not that the guy playing the Tim part is too good looking (although that is true). It is that the Tim part is the heart and soul of the show, and requires a truly great, multi-layered performance. Martin Freeman was brilliant as Tim, capturing his alienation and his yearning for a better life, his slackeriness and his humor etc. etc. and so forth. The guy who plays tim on the office has none of that. He's just some dude you'd work with.
Well, give him a chance, the pilot is mostly about David/Michael.
Yeah, Tim is key, clearly. But I haven't yet seen anything, other than his appearance, to suggest that this guy won't be able to do that, too.
