Hi Tom

I've always loved your characters and your ability as an actor (and wished that fate had allowed you to take the role of Indiana Jones because even though I respect Harrison Ford, I think you could have played the role with more humanity) and so I ask you to please continue to find a way to contribute to the Jesse Stone series.

Think about all the great actor portrayals that YOU as a fan had wished had grown on and think about all of us here on the other side of the screen that wait for you and ONLY you to bring your character to fruition. And then think abut all the fan's yet to come who 100 years from now will wonder WTF, the way I do today with Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce who never finished up their grand runs.

You have a grand run. You ARE a grand run. And you hold the fate of Jesse Stone in your hands (not to mention Joe the wonder Dog!). You are the great American actor of the this day as surly as Gary Cooper & John Wayne were in their day. I hope you'll do the right thing. I know you'll do the right thing and so I thank you.

Take Care
Matt

PS - Any other Louis L'amour book you want to make into a movie would MORE than thrill me. You've-got-it-Down.
