He looks too much like Jeffrey Hunter. How could he have thought to audition for that character instead?

He didn’t necessarily know that Pike would be an option. He likely didn’t know that Lorca would be an MU character.

It makes me wonder about how much background information Mount was given along with the sides he was reading - honestly, probably very little, or nothing at all.

He certainly seems to be playing the role in a stern-but-friendly way, which is likely not what they were looking for in the case of Lorca.
