Him Jim,
I recall that show. Never saw it. I loved Avery Brooks in
both Spenser: For Hire (which overall was a BAD, eviscerated
rendition of Parker's characters), and in Star Trek: Deep
Space 9. He is a tremendous actor.
This brings me to the question: for those of you who have
seen the A&E movies starring Joe Mantegna, how many of
you find Mantegna, although a fine actor, just too "New
Yorkey" to be the guy who moved from a boyhood in Wyoming to
an office on Boylston in Boston?
I have always thought that Alec Baldwin would make a superb
Spenser.
