They are looking for someone who is *close* to an archetypical character to fill the role they have scripted. "Tough" vs "Pansey" are favorite complementary archetypes. I'm sure they'd love to cast Angie. But the Producers write the script. At best, after editing, you'd see their caricature of Angie on the screen, and Angie and her family would have to live with these caricatures of themselves as every one else's reality for the rest of their lives. I prefer Angie's scripts of Angie. That said, how much does it pay? ;-) Linda Marins
