Parker fan. His earliest writing was his best. I thought Robert Urich cast as Spenser in "Spenser for Hire" on TV was good.<br /><br />When Tom Selleck cast himself as Jesse Stone for the made-for-TV movies, I wanted to cry. Stone is a much younger man. I'm not sure who I'd cast in that role, but younger by about 25-30 years works for me.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843459906469325667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-16172457896543264712011-08-06T11:03:32.984-06:002011-08-06T11:03:32.984-06:00Thank you so much for coming by my blog and leavin...Thank you so much for coming by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. :)<br /><br />I actually didn't 'get' The Great Gatsby when I first read it. I found it a rather depressing but clever book - the 1920s were beautifully drawn and I could see that house, those parties, those world-weary too young too cynical people... but I just didn't like the characters that much.<br /><br />But then I chose the book as an exercise is writing a synopsis and breaking it down made me rethink. I also did some reading around the story (never studied it at school, wasn't part of our curriculum) and it did make me appreciate it a whole lot more. Finally!<br /><br />I definitely agree with your casting, esp Jake as Nick. I can really see that working. Have you given Hollywood a call yet? :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-64013845803257301672011-08-04T18:18:31.276-06:002011-08-04T18:18:31.276-06:00I'm not sure about casting any movie with spec...I'm not sure about casting any movie with specific people, though I usually know what 'type' would be good for my favorite books.

His acting was awful. Of course, the whole film was a train wreck. Sorry, Harry Hamlin will always be Perseus to me.Alex J.
