If this movie was made in like 1996 or 1997...
I think Mark Wahlberg would've been perfect for the Bobby Kent role.
sharemaybe physically better than what they got, yeah..
what they really just needed, was someone who could pass for 'of middle-eastern appearance'..it was maybe a consequence of the fact that author Schuster himself, for some reason, never included a living pic of 'Bobby Kent" in his book.
there are some in the 'true crime' style docus on the case on Youtube, and one image on the Wikipedia..but none in the book.
Probable non co-operation from the 'Kent' family on the book only partly explains this.
