GAMES BOOK CLUBS PLAY

WHICH ACTOR WOULD PLAY WHICH ROLE?

A book club suggested Saving El Chico would be perfect for a film, or television series. A number of readers have told and written me with the same comment. The idea is flattering and I agree the story, setting, and characters are entertaining, well suited for such an endeavor.

            This Houston group took the discussion to another level and played a game: “Which actor should play which role?” They sent me their choices for the entire cast. I list some below.  I’d like to hear your comments and suggestions…just in case Saving El Chico goes to Hollywood. 

To give your ideas, go to the comment section below this post.
