...Hurwitz cast a brilliant group of character actors, such as Tambor (sidekick Hank Kingsley on HBO's Larry Sanders Show), David Cross (of HBO's Mr. Show) as George's fey doctor-turned-actor son-in-law Tobias Fünke and Will Arnett, who steals his every scene as rebellious son Gob (pronounced like the biblical Job), a preening, self-absorbed magician. The most traditional sitcom actor is Bateman (Silver Spoons), whom Hurwitz was reluctant to cast for precisely that reason. "But he came in and gave this dry, confident performance," Hurwitz says.

...Hollywood, broody superheroes are easy to find. The kind without neuroses, that's tricky. After considering nearly every square jaw in show biz, including those of Jude Law, Brendan Fraser and Josh Hartnett, Warner Bros. has finally cast its next Superman--an unknown Iowan named BRANDON ROUTH.

Bush will almost surely win the western third of the state. State officials estimate that 25% of voters will cast early or absentee ballots...
...brawl is brewing over where provisional votes must be cast--either in the voter's own precinct or within a broader area, like the voter's home county. Twenty-eight states have adopted the first position, 17 the second; five allow Election Day registration, and in North Dakota you can just show up. Generally, Republicans take the more restrictive view, Democrats the more inclusive one. Reason: poor voters, who tend to vote Democratic, move more often than wealthier ones and are thus less apt to know their appropriate precinct. Lawsuits over provisional ballots have already sprung up in five states...
