More cast members!

Hopeful ones, that is.  Until they actually sign, I can't make any promises that they really will appear.

Sam Neill as the protagonist's father.

I'm not sure if Will Smith would be ok with playing a small role, given that he's played much bigger parts in recent years, but if the answer is "yes," I'd like to consider him as the protagonist's physician.

Finally—and I'll try to put this as simply as possible—there's an actor whose work I admire even though many people dislike him as a person now.  So when I realized my script needed a villain—and not just any villain, but Josef Stalin's daughter's son—I thought perhaps I'd give him this appropriate role.  For fear of losing popularity (and this is a blog of note), I'd rather not say who it is.

Now for your first hint as to the answer to my previous post: He turned down the part that went to Roy Scheider in Jaws.
