I hope that if there is going to be a new actor (who probably WILL be Scottish this time), taking on his role in the upcoming Movie(s), that it will be someone who can equally portray the slightly older, experienced, respected persona of Jimmy's original. I'd rather a Gerard ("300") Butler type to a James ("Chronicals of Narnia") McAvoy, if you see what I mean. One of the things that is very noticable in original series is the fantastic VOICES of the main characters, most of them displaying warmth, yet GRAVITAS. I hope this will be a big factor regarding the casting decisions on this Movie.

Don't think De is. Don't know Billy and Leonard's plans or the others. 14 – I think Gene’s already up there, but maybe that was just a rumor. Don’t think De is.

Together, in one capsule.
