Dina:
I don't know what the knife has to do (the Italians I know are not knife lovers  :P) but I know Marcone is not his given name.

It's a stereotype for a reason.  Where do you think Sean Connery's line in The Untouchables came from? "Just like a dumb Dago to bring a knife to a gunfight."
I'm part Italian ancestry myself so don't jump down my throat for the Italian stuff, please.
On a more serious note, how do you know Marcone isn't his real name? There is so much stuff I don't remember from the earlier books.

Dina:
He said so in Even Hand, that he had changed his name. Of course, his real name could be very Italian too, we just don't know.
And don't worry, I was not offended or anything. I was just commenting that I had never heard of that stereotype. The vision of Italians in USA is, I think, somewhat different than the vision of them here where most people has sone Italian ancestry. I remember now that there is an episode of the Simpsons in Italy where Bob Terwilliger and his Italian family wear knives. I never thought there was a relationship between the two things (being Italian and handling knives)

Shinblam:
I'm rather particular to Jim Caviezel for Marcone. He has the look and if you've ever seen Person of Interest you know he can pull off Marcone's character.

Yeah, I can see that.

How about Sean Maher for Will Borden? I think he's too old to pull off college-aged Billy any more, but I will dream on.



Jewel Staite could then be Georgia, of course. ;)
