I will think of a signature later. It will be so stunningly brilliant your entire life will pale into insignificance when compared to the few words that will be written here.

Ok. You don't even want to get me started on Gerard Butler. I've been going on about him since Dracula 2000 (which I agree isn't the best movie but he rocked in it) and have hunted up some of his other movies. He is an absolutely amazing actor. Timeline and Tombraider 2 are not exactly the best things on his resume. Why don't you go dig up Dear Frankie or Beowulf and Grendel.
As to the build, those abs were formed specifically for 300. He doesn't have anywhere near that definition in Timeline. He's usually in decent shape but they pushed the cast hard for the look in that movie and he worked so hard on it he hurt himself and did a backslide as soon as filming wrapped. He is a tall (6'4") man with broad shoulders though. The scottish accent should be fine too since Sean Connery (as far as I'm concerned the "real" Bond) is also a scott.
As to the Snake Pliskin thing. Why not? I think he would do a wonderful job in that role. Yeah Kurt Russel will always be Snake in my head but as mentioned earlier he owns part of the right for those films so he'd have to have isgned off on the new casting. And if they plan on doing a prequel Kurt is looking a little old for it. Mr. Butler should be able to fill in nicely. The only real problem that comes to mind is a slight continuity conflict with all those "I thought you'd be taller" comments in Escape from LA because Butler is taller.

Mal: Yeah, well I'm known for that.
