Wa..wait a minute, Mike. Isn't "him" above a direct object and "looked" a transitive verb?

The complement I mean in this case is a word like, say, "a doctor" in "He became a doctor", which explains (therefore, complements) "he".

My question is, isn't it possible to use nouns as such complements for "look"?
