Nice props to Libertini...Well deserved. For those who remember his classic role in In-Laws where he potrays a general/dictator of a small country who does an alter ego based on his thumb and forefinger (With Big Lips/tick and eyes). When the alter ego starts kissing Falk & Arkin (esp) it's just friggin' hilarious...Just one of my many funny memories I have of Libertini in his movies to share. Looking forward to Fletch Won but I don't know with all the talk of possibly having Chase narrate and Libertini in it as well would screw with Kevin's take on the Young Fletcher...I mean if we're casting a Young Irwin here, then we would need a Young Libertini or different editor all together, right? Too many (And 1 person, might be too many) of the Fletch characters from the movies Fletch and Fletch Lives will not create the distinction that I am sure Kevin is looking for in his movie. Not to sound like the Fletch movies were so great/unforgettable (Although I enjoyed them, not nearly as much as the series by McDonald...Great concept) or anything but Kevin's take sounds to be much different than the 1st two movies were. My take on the Young Fletcher would be somebody like a Lochlyn Munroe (Not sure on the spelling of his 1st name) Movies to his credit include "Wagons East" "Night at the Roxbury" "Dead Man on Campus" and Libertini's role could be taken by a Eugene Levy/Daniel Stern type who are both much younger as well..."Fletch"
