WHENEVER MY PRODUCER FRIENDS DISCUSS WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR AND NOT FINDING, CASTING-WISE, I REALIZE THEY ARE DESCRIBING LEE BURNS - SOMEONE WHO HAS A LIGHT COMEDIC TOUCH AS WELL AS DRAMATIC WEIGHT - YOUNG AND FRESH (BUT NOT SO NAIVE THAT HE COULDN'T CARRY A SCENE WITH WILLIAM PETERSEN OR ANTHONY LAPAGLIA) AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, EXTREMELY CAMERA FRIENDLY... LEE DEFINTELY HAS THE WHOLE PACKAGE, THE SKY IS THE LIMIT FOR HIM. I HOPE TO FIND ROLES FOR HIM IN ALL OF MY MOVIES."
