Crowe as...the Equalizer
« on: June 16, 2010, 07:45:48 AM »

"The actor has attached himself to play Robert McCall, the mysterious agent made famous by Woodward in the 1980s CBS crime series. Fans of the series will remember that McCall's background was murky -- he once worked for a top-secret agency, where he did some pretty horrible things -- and we watched him every week in his new, repentance-minded guise, righting wrongs for the persecuted by settling scores with their persecutors (and assorted miscreants)..."

Yeah! The Equalizer! Loved his Jag and I still, to this day, listen to the soundtrack by Stewart Copeland on a regular basis. Fantastico!

"Time's up, throw him out the window!"

I tried watching it again a couple of years ago. Not as great as I remember...maybe the movie will be good! Still, why not do something original(ish)?

Woodward (of Breaker Morant) was once a thin athlete. He was hired for the part because of this. He said in an interview that as soon as he got the part, his weight suddenly began to balloon up! In one of the seasons he even had a heart attack and was replaced by the actor Richard Jordan for awhile (Jordan once played Cusller's Dirk Pitt in "Raise the Titanic" movie). Neither Jordan nor Woodward lasted a few more years past the end of the show, from bad health.
