i am a fan of all the Spenser books, wondering if the producers, director or casting director ever read one. Mark Wahlberg is a fine actor and I do like his movies, however, he is nothing like the Spenser character, and Hawk well he does not even resemble the tough, smart, hulking guy in the books, and why it is the strong female lead is now a ditzy dog handler versus a smart, strong psychologist. I guess I'll just keep reading the books until someone realizes the cast need a complete overhaul.
