According to Fox News/Los Angeles, this A.M., the Gonzalez family has sold CBS the rights to do a mini-series on Elian's story. Here we go.

They want Antonio Bandares to do Elian's father, and they're looking for derelicts to do the family.

Didn't take long for the cash register to start ringing for the family. Wonder how much the lawyers are getting out of this.

Of course there are plenty of hookers in LA to play the part of the cousin.

Be still my beating heart...I can hardly wait!

CD,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll immeiately contact my Casting friends in LA. One comment, if Rivera isn't available, maybe Manuel Noreaga (sp) could get a work release for the part of the uncle.
