was wrong for this. I like him in many roles, but I'm he seemed out of place.

Who could have filled the role better at the time of filming?

Nell Carter

Lmfao-hilarious! I was actually thinking about her the other day. Which is odd.

I love Norton but to be such a veteran homicide detective (according to notes he's "seasoned") and look so young ... Almost unbelievable. However, not totally since there are people (Norton, for instance) who simply look super young and babied-face.

Norton did a decent job but he was somewhat miscast. He simply looked too young in this.

Arnold Schwarzenegger,

Just to hear him say

"Filthy little beast"

I think Mickey Rourke in his younger days would have been a brilliant Will Graham.

In 2002 maybe somebody like Christian Bale ?

Bale sucks. Wooden actor.

How about Jason Patric ? He did a film around the same time as Red Dragon called Narc with Ray Liotta which both were brilliant in.

He was absolutely terrible, more monotonous and bland and nasal than ever.
