Silk for Calde!

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

yeah, Silk is 23.
Laurie is now too old.

Keanu does come to mind, but I'd have to reject him on principle :D
and he's already been cast as a messiah.

I don't watch movies or tv enough to be good at this though. I can only think of household name actors.
