Sean Penn - ohhhhhhhhh, definitely wrong. Brando? No. DeNiro, too rumpled at this point. (Not that HMW, PI, isn't well-rumpled, but that's another post....)<br /><br />I would consider other casting choices: Given the bung hole episode (I mean...really...), I'd have to say Ben Stiller...so many...mishaps (and ellipses!) But, no.... That leads to William H. Macy as a compromise (caught with so many bodies in Fargo).<br /><br />Then turning away from these under-something PI-types, there's always Jack ("the gun was under the chair"), but he's too short. Or perhaps the worn Russell Crowe from LA Confidential...nah, the accent is a problem. Or David Duchovny with the ever-present underdog/trenchcoat-ness. But I've seen no aliens yet crop up in Les Mars....<br /><br />I suspect Mr. HoseMaster, sir, would prefer Clive Owen to play his alter-ego....

After all, he is tall, black and handsome. It's a bit of a stretch, but at least you did not ask for Sean Penn, who is short, white and does not smile.<br /><br />But, I am thinking about some kind of middle ground here. Somebody middle-aged, tough as nails, funny, understands irony, maybe a little shorter than Denzel, but likely to deliver a knockout phrase with aplomp. <br /><br />My first nomination was Brando, but the guy went and checked out on us. So, how about DeNiro? OK, so he sometimes like to play it a little "run down at the heels", but at least he would never be mistaken for somebody who was an MS candidate.Puff Daddyhttp://www.cgcw.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-20964024845567387772010-01-28T17:05:12.209-08:002010-01-28T17:05:12.209-08:00My Dearest Marcia,
