  • Stepping on Recasting Couch early: Bishop is a part for an older, 2001-style Harvey Keitel; Russo is wished for if he had not played Jimmy Jump, but the role should be older; Ricardo Montobahn, a Tony Lobionco or a Cliff Gordon (as heard) are floated.
  • For Janet Julian's part, 1990 Sharon Stone is floated and seen as workable but not New York enough.
  • Annabelle Seora (as heard) is floated; Julian does not work, but the idea of an out-of-place girl does.
  • Kelly Lynch is suggested, tying to the Chimino connection as the lawyer in Desperate Hours; a second voice says 'That's perfect. That's who it should be.'
  • Kelly Lynch is a little California, and a New England type unused to rough New York might be better, but she is still called a good suggestion.
