I saw Dr. Parker at one of the local Barnes and Nobles here in Connecticut.
He said that "Robert Urich god rest his soul may have looked the part of Spenser but that Dr Parker thought Urich didn't get what the character of Spenser really was.
He said that Joe Mantegna understood the Spenser character." I think people are so used to seeing Robert Urich as Spenser it is hard to change. I know for one when I read the novels "Urichs voice is the one that I use for reading the book.
In some of the earlier Spenser books it was written that Susan Silverman was the most beautiful woman that Spenser ever saw. How can you truly cast someone in the part or watch someone in that role when each persons view of beautiful is different.
I did however enjoy Small Vices. Just not a big Joe Mantegna fan sorry
