possible supporting actors



"I'll be good, boss. I won't backslide."

Well there's been talk going around about who we will get as supporting actors. Jack Nicholson was thrown around a bit as my dad or maybe a cranky neighbor. He and his agent came to a meeting and, man, was he an asshole. I couldn't believe it. He was all, like, what's my motivation? And i was like, "I don't know Man, what is your motivation?" Anyway I always thought he was cool- Five Easy Pieces, where he's a roughneck oil rig worker who has to go back to the northwest because his father's dying and he leaves his girlfriend in the hotel for three weeks.
Maybe he was in character in the meeting- who knows?
Anyway they were also talking about who would be my girlfriend (not that I have one)and I was all about Scarlet Johannson. She's hot.
I'd also like to get Julie Christie in the movie and Catherine Deneuve.
Julie Christie in McCabe & Mrs. Miller- classic Altman.
Maybe Warren Beatty as a judge when I'm getting sentenced for some crime against the state. Or maybe he could be my dad and Nicholson my lawyer.
I'd also like to get Burt Bacharach to do some of the music. Something like the south american getaway music he did for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I used to have the poster of them from the final shot of the movie on my wall as well the classic shot from Easy Rider.

If Strother Martin was still around we could have him the movie as an old prospector or something.

Anyway there will be more meetings and more names thrown around
