There ya go -- you automatically win Slim's vote. The gentleman from Chicago may be a bit slow on the uptake but in the end he comes through in the clutch. 
After all the fun they gave me in the Babes draft, it's the least I can do.

I made sure Slim and Spike are in the game before selecting the photo.

There's been some snickering around industry circles that the working title of my film should be "Tumbleweed Sausage Party", so I'll put an end to that talk by finally announcing my leading lady:
Grace Kelly
Perhaps the most glamorous woman in Hollywood history:
Figuratively and literally a Princess:
She has screen history with my leading man:
Yep, a man with a woman like that for a wife is liable to do absolutely anything for her:

I have to admit, NME, that I am totally and completely fascinated by your casting thus far...
And now, with our key contributor firmly ensconsed in Forest Dweller Productions, we can get back to casting.
With our next pick, we're getting Estelle Getty for a small but most likely award nomination worthy role as Grandma Mazur in our upcoming production. We'll be filling in the names of the rest of the character assignments shortly.

For my next selection suddenly possible with the extra rounds, my swarmy art thief needs a partner in crime:
Christina Hendricks
Who's role is small enough I would normally wait, but who I know has at least 2 people up at the other end of the draft who could be threats to take her at any point, just because. Its hard to find beautiful women who can really do comedy, and this role calls for a seductress able to hold her swarmy own with Cary Elwes. Should make a great couple.

The addition of the extra rounds made it possible for me to actually draft the person who created all the characters for my film. Since that's now been done I can safely give character assignments to the actors already under contract to Forest Dweller Productions:
Rnd 1: Antonio Banderas -- Lead Actor - Ricardo Carlos "Ranger" Mañoso
Rnd 2: Queen Latifah -- Actress - Lula
Rnd 3: Sandra Bullock -- Lead Actress - Stephanie Plum
Rnd 4: Brad Pitt -- Actor - Joe Morelli
Rnd 5: Danny DeVito -- Actor - cousin Vinnie Plum
Rnd 6: Billy Wilder -- Director
Rnd 7: Janet Evanovich - Screenwriter
Rnd 8: Estelle Getty - Actress - Grandma Edna Mazur

Well, I've got all of the MAJOR roles out of the way besides maybe 2 which I think are pretty safe.

I'm a bit hesitant to make this pick because I was hoping to avoid having my cast be a sort of "movie reunion". I'm already planning on selecting one actor who has shared screen time with another already on my list (and possibly a second, from the same film!) and this actress has already been a female lead for my director. But saying that, I can't see anybody better to play the role I want her to play, so I'm going to go with it. For a supporting role I select Julie Delpy.
