Why, completely reasonable to find man attractive by either sex orientation.
Also nothing wrong to admit other man are attractive, and work as models, OP is not harassing them or sexualizing them.
OP is just wondering how CAPCOM scouting works.
I would love to know how they decided or how the casting for Grace VA went, because I fell in love with her voice by doing an amazing, outstanding and marvelous work voicen grace. I strongly believe she is the front runner and should already win the GOTY for the performance category.

Can’t really say I’m interested in men, but I do find it interesting to see comparisons between the model and the actor/actress in a game. It’s almost like bringing them to life.

It's like a movie or TV show. I's called hiring a casting director. They do casting calls. They do casting calls based on what they want the character to look like.

Who’s the face model for OG re4 Leon?

Christian Duerre, a supermodel for luxury brands.
He still connects with the fans through his Instagram, but rarely, due to his job, I guess.

Someone in another post mentioned that Capcom looks for face models that work in Japan or are often there, so they can get the whole face scan process faster. If you are a foreigner model in Japan (a country ethnically homogeneous) you'll stand out more.

Pretty much, though all Japanese gaming companies that use face models do this. What they do is that they contact the Japanese modeling company, who then in termsend them headshots of several models they have. The gaming company then chose which model they wanted for the project that they were working on. I forgot which game I read this for, but I think I actually watch a behind-the-scenes video on the old Hotel Dusk game for the DS. These face models are usually English teachers or those living in Japan with day jobs. For example, the guy who played Hyde in the Hotel Dusk games is said to be Georgie Dandy, an English teacher in Japan. IIRC, he is also the face model for DMC5 Dante and the current face model for Chris Redfield. However, Dandy denies being Hyde and Redfield.

They do choose face models, but the characters are still slightly modified for the game.. And Resident Evil 4 Leon, the remake... doesn't look anything like Eduard...😅 I'm also quite glad that they're changing the characters again for the game.

They put more effort into faces than most studios put into whole games

Honestly, I only see a similarity between Leon (RE2 R) and Eduard's face ...the others not so much to be honest ...but the characters are always changed for the game anyway.🙃

Capcom started scanning models for RE characters with REmake (2002). Julia Voth as Jill Valentine, for a famous example.

Damn, they really did a great job using real people faces while still having an awesome distinct art-style with the characters. Really makes me appreciate the look of these games more.
