Robert McKee goes into this in detail in his book Story, but really, if the audience doesn't identify in some way with a protagonist, your story's sunk. It doesn't have to be in a huge, "This character is exactly like me!" way, but there has to be some kind of resonance to make a character stick.

See, I'm usually the most interested in the characters I don't identify with at all, because I want to know and understand what makes them tick. Why do they act the way they do? What drives them? That's what makes a character interesting to me.

Characters I can connect with easily are characters I already understand. There's no interest in delving deeper there.

This.
I read and watch fiction as a window into another world, not as a mirror in which to see myself.
I already know how I work; what's interesting is seeing how Our Intrepid Hero works.

+1, I'm way more interested in characters who are nothing like me. The things I go through and want out of life are not what I want in a fictional story.
