    I hope this stuff is all a red herring and they really have cast Steven Segal for the part.

    Jown Hawkes(From Dusk Till Dawn, American Gangster) revealed in a recent interview that he was offered the part but turned it down....

    "They offered me the role, and I just felt there would be someone else who could do it better. I was flattered, and I took a look at the series. It held interest for me, but I just didn't feel like I was the guy for it. I have to be careful of what TV shows I choose, particularly ones that have commercials in them, because it's going to be a different kind of television show. There are going to be sponsors. No matter how good the show is, if there are commercials, it's going to be a different show, to me. That's just my personal feeling. Yeah, it was nice of them to ask, and it's a good show, but, again, I just didn't feel I was the guy. They came to me and sent me the graphic novel and the first two seasons. I took a look at them, and just didn't feel like it was for me."

    That's damned interesting, actually. I have liked this guy in couple things he's done and I can see him playing up the unassuming aspect of the character that we will probably get to see early on (for a hot second). Damn...
