Casting the Judicial Group

We already cast Steve Piasecki and his sidekick My Friend, the 3 leading gals, the crew at Babes in Toyland, and the long arm of the law. Now let’s wrap it up with the legal group of Steve’s crackerjack attorney and the 2 judges who presided over his legal proceedings.

So here’s who we got so far:

  • Barry Bowe as Steve Piasecki
  • Mike Tartaglia as My Friend
  • Marissa Tomei as Jade
  • Yvonne Strahovski as Jess
  • Rachel Taylor as Margo
  • Sly Stallone as Sal the Bouncer
  • Elizabeth Berkely as Candi
  • Nora Fitehi as Farrah
  • Jon Lovitz as Sam Cohen
  • Scott Glenn as C.I.D. Chief Herbert George
  • Jodie Foster as Det. Pam Bishop
  • Michael Douglas as Det. Donald Chase
  • C. S. Lee as Medical Examiner Dr. Kenneth Nakamura
  • David Strathairn as District Attorney Robert Greene
  • Stanley Tucci as Chief Prosecutor Hank Baldino
  • Robert Blake as DEA Agent Frank Santangelo

Let’s wrap it up.

The Judicial Group

Bernie Wald

“A man’s standing in the doorway. Looks to be around 50, three-piece suit, holding a briefcase.”

“Bernard Wald, Esquire, at your service. Your friend Mike informed me you were in some sort of jam and needed a lawyer.”

Bernie is Steve’s crackerjack defense lawyer.

Using Gregory Peck from To Kill a Mocking Bird was too easy. Then I thought about George C. Scott from Anatomy of a Murder. But I was afraid Patton might pop up. Too harsh. Needed somebody smooth. Sounds like Richard Gere in Primal Fear.

Judge #1

“A female judge is sitting behind the bench. Wearing a black robe and glasses. I’m guessing early 50s.”

No doubt about my 2 judges. Judge Judy goes here.

Judge #2

“The judge asks them to identify themselves. Which they do.”

Judge Jeanine goes here.

Just realized, for some reason, I didn’t name either judge. Both are important to the plot. If and when I do a rewrite, I’ll name them.

So that’s it for the cast.

Thanks for playing along.
