I think Fillion is relatively unknown enough that he could star as Hal. I mean sure he was a star of an ensomble (spelling?) cast on Serenity (or Firefly I forget which was which), but thats about it.
Brandon Routh was a soap star first. I think people would be very accepting of Fillion as Hal, as long as the script and effects and everything was good. I would probably accept him as Hal.
As for Kyle, I think they approached him as the new guy. Someone unfarmiliar with the whole Green Lantern/superhero thing. Normally in a story or a comic the new guy has a teacher or a team to help them along, like with Jubilee on the X-Men cartoon. (the show started with her and you met the X-Men and everyone through her, at first).
This usually is done to bring in readers who don't know the comic or story.
But in the case of Kyle he was brought in, given the ring by a Guardian as a last ditch effort (most likely wasn't chosen for his abilities as much as the others.) He was also made to sort of be the average guy, and how would the average no superhero handle all this. And they sort of had him act like he was way in over his head alot.
And then he was all alone to be the only Green Lantern throughout the universe, there was no one to mentor him and no team to guide him.
So he (like Batman Beyond, in the first seasons) he kept getting beaten up and stuff. Eventually though I think he got the hang of it right?
Also I don't think him changing the costume so drastically helped.
While I did love the idea of him being a comic artist and cartoonist I didn't really fully graps how cool Rayner was until Rebirth, where they stated that he stood as the sole Green Lantern. He protected all the universe and kept the Green Lanterns going all by himself.
