- Really? In the book, the Comedian is a big, powerful guy. The police
- that find him dead express surprise that he was apparently overpowered
- and thrown. How about William Smith?

- >>> Doctor Manhattan - could he be animated?
-
- It would be expensive, but certainly. Especially with the level of
- computer animation used in T2.

- >>> Ozymandais - William Hurt with fake muscles
-
- How about Christopher Walken?

- >>> Laura Juspecyk (sp?) - not sure
-
- Bonnie Bedelia? Adrienne Barbeau? I've been pleasantly surprised with
- her performances.

- >>> Night Owl - probably not realistic, but John Goodman would LOOK perfect
-
- John Goodman is not only quite a bit fatter right now than I'd expect,
- and although he is pretty good, keep in mind that he's quite a big guy.
- Much bigger than I expected Nightowl to be.

- Peter Coyote? Michael Biehn? (role from The Abyss)
