Well, it’s not likely that the star of “Our Man in Havana” will be playing anybody anymore. But Michael Totten is “Our (PJ) Man in Beirut” and casting suggestions are welcome. First read his profile. Then check his blog. It’s got a great picture. Then feel free to make your casting suggestions here. Who should play Michael Totten?

1. thibaud:Kiefer Sutherland or Billy Baldwin. Or maybe Anthony Michael Hall.
Oct 3, 2005 - 12:53 pm 2. Ed Driscoll:Totten can have Guiness, that’s fine with me. But as long as we’re casting for Deceased Classic English Actors to play ourselves in Pajamas Media: The Motion Picture (ghost directed by Robert Wise?), I want dibs on Cary Grant.

Sir Alec’s last name has two n’s (apologies– editors can be a picky bunch)!
Hard to think of anyone better, though, to play Michael Totten.
Oct 3, 2005 - 12:59 pm 4. Fausta:Since AG’s not with us any longer, I suggest the other Obi-Wan, Ewan McGregor.
(But Keifer Sutherland’s probably taller)
Oct 3, 2005 - 2:08 pm 5. Juliette:Ben Affleck.
Oct 3, 2005 - 3:35 pm 6. trainer:Sean Maher
Oct 3, 2005 - 4:55 pm 7. Ray Zacek:Kevin McKidd, the intense Roman centaurion on HBO’s Rome.
