No one replied on having Travolta be Marcone
Travolta has gotten on my last damn nerve. I don't even remember the last movie I saw him in that I enjoyed.
Description of Marcone from the paperback edition of White Night:
Marcone came in.
He wore a gunmetal grey Armani suit with Italian leather shoes, and his shirt was open one button at the throat. He was an inch or two above average height, and had looked like an extremely fit forty-year-old ever since I had known him. His haircut was perfect, his grooming immaculate, and his eyes were the color of worn dollar bills.
(ETA: FYI, average height for a male in the United States is about 5 feet, 9.5 inches. So that means that Marcone is around 5'11".)
The description sounds like Travolta could pull it off, yes, but all things considered, I'd rather he not have anything to do with this movie. I keep hearing his stupid accent from Grease infiltrating into the character.
Just for fun, here's the description of Cujo Hendricks, which preceeded Marcone's:
A large man came through the door. He was built like a bulldozer made out of slabs of raw, workingman muscle, thick bones, and heavy sinews. He had a neck as thick as Murphy's waist, short red hair, and beady eyes under a heavy brow. His expression looked like it had been permanently locked into place a few seconds after someone had kicked his puppy through a plate-glass window.
