wanna help with my west wing race!swap casting?

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?

Picspam: The West Wing Race!Swap Casting

Aaron Sorkin is a ridiculously talented man. The West Wing is a ridiculously awesome show. But one way in which they both fail is in portrayals of people of color. Charlie Young was written into the show specifically because they didn't have any characters of color--the epitome of tokenism. But our world isn't whitewashed, and neither is the White House, and this is what it might look like if the characters from The West Wing had their races swapped.

Thanks to gingerwall for helping me find a Leo! You're the best!

Note: I haven't made it past Season 5 of the show yet because I am a bad person. So think of this as a race!swap for the first four seasons.

book rec time!

Except that it's y'all reccing things to me.

I'm speeding through Megan Whalen Turner's The Queen's Thief series and OMG MY LOVE FOR THIS SERIES I CANNOT DESCRIBE VOMITING RAINBOWS EVERYWHERE. But I'm going to finish it pretty soon, and I'd like to have something else waiting for me when I finish. So.

What are your favorite YA books? I think I'm just going to read YA for a while, honestly, because A) easy to read, B) favorite, C) unpretentious, D) despite the fact that I am indeed an adult I mostly don't feel like one. I mostly like fantasy or historical stuff, but if you've got some contemporary books that are just wonderful, feel free to tell me about those, too.

And...go!
