For all the comments that Jack needs to be a super serious
angst-laden actor, I've lost track of all the wise-cracking
comments the character Repairman Jack has made (and
mentally soliliquized) throughout the course of this book
series.
Reynolds is perfect in age and looks to kick off a 10-year run
of movies.
One thing. Where as Repairman Jack is just shy of 6 foot (at least
I think I remember that as being the description, feel free to
correct me), Reynolds certainly "looks" to be a hulking 6'4" tall...
But I guess that is a better direction to go than, say, 5'9" Sylvester
Stallone pretending to be a 6'1' and 225 lbs during all of the
Rocky Movies (surrounding himself with short actors to make
him look taller, etc.).
Reynolds will be the Hollywoodized version of Jack, bigger, stronger,
and probably even more of a smart-ass.
Should be a fun ride!

P.S. - (B)abe (K)ute Akitas has "contacts" in Hollywoodland? Why
this hot damsel gets more and more interesting all the time...
