That's why I took cheer from the article myself, Melpomene -- Jason 
Carter's 42.  I just hope they don't overcompensate in the other 
direction, and look at 50-something actors, and cover them with heavy 
youth makeup.  That'd be overkill, no?

Ralph Fiennes would make a great anything, really. :)  Although this 
new movie of his looks so fluffy from the ads, it really surprises me.
