It has been awhile since ive read Omerta, i would have to reread it again to get the characters in my mind. But one character that stands out Don Raymonde Aprile, could be done by Christopher Plummer, though this is only a personal prefference. I dont know if anyone would agree with that or not.

I cant see John Cussack as Astorre mostly for his work in light hearted movies, or comedies. So the thought of him playing a serious role doesnt strike me as a good thing.
