wanna help with my west wing race!swap casting?

[lirazel]

I'm really pleased with everyone I've cast so far, but there are two people I just can't find the right person for. It's really annoying.

I need someone to play Leo who can play grumpy old man but also have warmth and humor and dignity like John Spencer. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO FIND SOMEONE.

I also need someone for Danny, and I also CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHO TO CAST.

Oh, and they need to be people who might realistically be on television. So no suggestions of Morgan Freeman, as much as I love him, okay?

Do y'all have any thoughts? Any thoughts at all?

Ossie Davis?

That's a really fabulous suggestion, except that he's dead, and I'm trying to stick with people who might realistically be cast. But thanks!

I know! So sad! But he wasn't at the time!
