But hell, he probably was that old when he did ID. A lot of celebrities sans makeup look like crap. As for the action sequences, I don't think but maybe a handful of the world's greatest martial artists could actually pull off the knife-trick from FM. That's what CG is for. It's why we didn't see decent movies of Marvel Superheroes until there was CG.

Loggia wasn't exactly young in Independence Day and that was 20 years ago. Also, I just don't see him as Marcone. I've always had an image of Eric Roberts as Marcone when I read the books.

He was occasionally described as "fatherly-looking" in DF. I have always envisioned Loggia for that role--the smooth, relaxed and intent persona that fits quite well with "predator". Works for tigers...

Can I nominate Jeffrey Tambor for Goodman Grey?
Amber:
I don't usually pop into casting threads, but my hubby and I just binge watched the last season of Once Upon a Time, and the guy that plays Hook took the place of my mental Harry.

Although no one can accuse me of being a "playground monitor" by any means, that comment should probably be moved to the "DF Spoiler" section and be put into a "spoiler" cover.
In reply, the character is still to new to me to have fully formed an image yet (I'm only to Chapter 24). The half-formed ones kinda resemble that of (click to show/hide)the White Court Vampire in "Bigfoot on Campus."
