The Last Policeman discussion

Whenever I pictured the victim in flashbacks, I mentally cast him as Patton Oswalt. I tended to think of the main character as a young William H. Macy, with his no-nonsense by-the-book demeanor, but I think he's a bit too old to fit the character now.

Ah, you're right, I forgot that he's quite tall -- one of the other policeman calls him "Stretch", which he's not fond of.

I was thinking more in terms of personality... someone who would continue to respect police procedure and take things seriously while things fall apart around him.

Dwight Schrute, toned down about three notches.
