I've always imagined him as a Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, or Samuel L. Jackson kinda guy... rough, rugged, scarred... built like a MAN... growly...
Scrolling through the TV today I noticed that his book Mind Prey was on as a movie! I was so stoked!
Then I saw who was playing Lucas...

NOOOOOOOOOOO! That is NOT Lucas!
He's a good-lookin' enough guy, but not for Lucas. He isn't rough enough... or growly... or raw like Lucas is described in the book.
I cannot tell you how disappointed I am.

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!
So wrong. When was the last time LaSalle did anything anyway? Yuck.
I definitely had someone else in mind - Denzel came to mind first when I was reading the books and remember "Spencer for Hire" - Robert Ulrich's sidekick "Hawk" that is the guy I always pictured as the sidekick detective in the books [although he is way too old now - I date myself even bringing up Spencer for Hire, don't I? :)]
Will Smith? No.... and Harrison Ford is not only too white - he is WAY too old...LOL
Eventhough Denzel is a bit long in the tooth to play a father of elementary kids - he is still my first choice - yum.
Pooldad and I always wonder tho' when the heck is Nana going finally die? How old is she 112? ;)
PS - and why didn't I know this was made into a movie already? What channel are you watching [ex. HBO, Starz? etc?]
Thanks - I need a good laugh. hee
It was on LMN (whatever channel that is...)
I just picture Lucas as rough not clean-cut like they had him portrayed. I almost cried when I saw it and they called him Lucas.
Sigh
Marni I am so embarrassed I was thinking of the character Alex Cross by James Patterson, oops...that has Nana and the sidekick "Sampson"...hee, were you confused by my ramblings?
And yes I have Prey series and you are right - Eric La Salle still doesn't fit.
Man, I either read too much or the Lupus is really affecting the old memory lobes - giggle
Love you - sorry if I jacked your comments! :)
They never live up to our expectations do they? Especially LaSalle - He is Benton on ER!
