Leo as Travis McGee? I like him but he in no way resembles McGee from the book series.
Now that DiCaprio has grown into his face and become one of the best actors on the planet, he just might be the guy to do McGee justice.
He even kinda looks like MacDonald’s description of the beach bum houseboat-dwelling detective.
