22. His name is R. Lee Ermey.
I don't know when the "R. Lee" thing happened. He used to be just "Lee Ermey".

Good character actor, but probably a repuke. Don't cast him.

27. Thanks. He pronounces it like "Arley"
so that's what I thought it was. I agree, he's probably a repuke, but I was thinking of it just in terms of how they talk, behave, etc.

29. Actually, Durning already played a Mississippi Governor in the movie
"O'Brother, Where art thou?"

I was an extra and saw him act on several occasions. He's really a class act.

19. I want Samuel L Jackson as Mayor Nagin
Blanco, hmm.... yeah Bayes is good.

Maty Landrieu- Wife says Emma Thompson. I'm not familiar with her, but she looks a bit like her.

Michael Brown- Dave Foley?

I'll think on the rest.

20. I'm looking at the list - and really many people were trying to help
out and get help. Why do we have to demean the CNN reporters and others who actually did the right thing?

This is not a game.

37. Who hasn't been sad. New Orleans was my home for a number of years
I have friends there and my Ex and 2 cats that I left with my Ex.

I am hurt angry and sick. Humans can only take so much.

I just met with 25 evacuees they were laughing. I donated shoes, clothes and toiletries.

That made me feel soooo much better. I needed a laugh. I figure if the evacuees can laugh so can I.

21. Here are some lobby posters from past productions
These are still using the original casts, from the looks of them, or maybe an entirely different kind of casting game perhaps. I found these elsewhere on the web, not recently, forgotten where.
Anyway...for what they're worth:
