You're probably right but you can never make the fatal mistake of confusing
the actor with the role ... after all, Seymour could be a poet in real life
and a contestant on a dopey game show during the day.

I had a thought after posting my last mail : River Phoenix would have made
a great Holden. I guess that's not an option now though. How's about Matt
Damon and Ben Affleck rustle us up a script ? (:
