Nicholas Cage would be a great Townshend, I agree. Maybe as second runner up: Joe Strummer. Yes, the Clash man. He's not a bad actor. He was a scream in Mystery Train. How about Gary Oldman as Kit Lambert? I have a recurring nightmare that Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, or Val Kilmer would be cast. I believe I did hear that Tom Cruise had expressed an interest in being involved somehow, not necessarily acting. Cathy
