I promised my mom today that I would cast the Janet Evanovich "Stephanie Plum" novels. So here goes (some castings have options):
Stephanie Plum: amatuer bounty hunter in Trenton NJ. I like Ginnifer Goodwin and she has a bit of the roundness in her face suggesting more of a hungarian look (Steph is half Italian, half hungarian). Anne Hathaway could also pull it off, I think.
Joe Morelli: hot Italian lothario turned responsible cop, Steph's on-again-off-again lover. Adrian Grenier has the look, but he's too happy. Ryan Reynolds doesn't feel Italian enough, but he smolders more. Too old, though. Jury is still out on this one.
Ranger (Carlos Manoso): Latin bounty hunter and object of Steph's occasional lust. The only suitable male I found was Jay Hernandez, although he looks a little young (actual age is appropriate). Super hot, super mysterious.
Lula: former 'ho, larger than life and stuffed into too-small clothing. We all agree it has to be Queen Latifah.
Connie: the no-nonsense bail bonds office manager. Debi Mazur for sure, although my mom likes Leah Remini for it.
Grandma Mazur: crazy old grandma with way too much energy and not enough rationality, attends funerals as a hobby. Mom likes Betty White but I'm leaning towards Cloris Leachman.
Stephanie's parents: her mother just wants her to be like other Italian daughters in the burg - married with kids. Her father just wants to be left in peace - he talks under his breath a lot. I came up with two pairs: Jaclyn Smith and Kevin Spacey as a younger set or Tom Bergeron and Swoosie Kurtz as an older set. I think Tom ends up with more audible lines, though, so I'm going younger. Jaclyn Smith and Kevin Spacey it is.
Vinnie Plum: sleazy owner of the bail bonds operation and Stephanie's cousin. I could only think of one good Italian-looking sleaze and it was Jon Favreau. Keep your hands off Connie before she pulls her Glock, dude.
Feel free to throw in your two cents.

I have no idea who any of the characters or about half of the actors are, but your new layout is fun!
Love the new design.
I disagree. I think Lula should be Mo'Nique. Queen Latifah couldn't pull off the Ghetto that Mo'Nique can.
i very enjoy your writing kind, very exciting.
don't give up as well as keep writing seeing that it just simply truly worth to follow it.
impatient to browse through more and more of your well written articles, stunning day :)
My dream cast:
Stephanie Plum - Scarlett Johansson or Katherine Heigl (but her hair not as dark)
Morelli -- Jeffrey Dean Morgan (He and KL had so much chemistry on Grey's Anatomy)
Ranger -- Benjamin Bratt (I realize he may be too old, but that's who I picture when I read the books) or Giles Marini
Lula -- Niecy Nash (hands down.. no one else could pull it off)
I like your choices!
Stephanie: Emmanuelle Chriqui
Lula: Loretta Devine
Ranger: Benjamin Bratt
Grandma: Betty White
Mother: MaryKay Place
Dad: JK Simmons
Joe: Adrian Grenier
I think your casting is spot on except for Morelli.
When I read the books, I picture somebody that looks exactly like Galen Gering but that's just me!
NO WAY! Katerine Heigl is definitely not fit to play stephanie plum! She doesn't even have blue eyes she is too tall and isnt the right frame.
I all the time used to read piece of writing in news papers but now as I am a user of
web so from now I am using net for articles or reviews, thanks to web.

Heya exceptional blog! Does running a blog such
as this require a lot of work? I have no expertise
in programming but I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
Anyways, if you have any suggestions or tips for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off topic however I just had to ask.
Many thanks!

Unquestionably believe that which you stated.
Your favorite justification appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they just don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

You actually make it seem so easy along with your presentation however
I in finding this topic to be actually one thing
that I think I would never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and very broad for me.
I'm taking a look ahead for your next publish, I will try to get the hold of it!
