[Richard Karch]

Maybe Occupy could get the Coast Cinema to let us sponsor a showing of  the
Citizens United, "The MOvie" when it comes out. 
Just a thought...

> arms business.

> Says Pen, "The interest in this project has already been just 
> incredible. We had over 3,000 submissions from all the top agents and 
> mangers in the business for just one of our other available roles. 
> But Mr. Asner was always our first choice for the part of Ace Rogers, 
> which is why we are so excited that the part appealed to him."
