If there is one thing Spielberg always get's right, it's his casts. This also made me think that Bruce McGill would be a good fit for one of your future In Character posts. He always grabs my attention every time he pops on screen, yet no one ever seems to talk about him. I remember him best from Timecop of all movies. He was a great fit for the police chief in a 90's (time)cop movie.Henrik J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12675100900709348187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-90003665238607507382013-01-09T17:15:35.517-05:002013-01-09T17:15:35.517-05:00Maybe!
