When it comes to casting for family relations or resemblance to real-life figures, I always study the nose. The difference between the noses of John Adams and Paul Giamatti, who played the Founding Father in the mini-series, was a serious roadblock in my accepting him in the role. I know, it's crazy, but that's how it goes. So Patrick McGrath's schnozz is nothing like Gwenn's, and it ruins the effect for me. He looks like he'd be better suited to play Victor McLaglen. And even then.....

At any rate, Merry Christmas and God bless us, everyone!
