Samuel L Jackson
I'm not black, but I really feel that he could make the story of a small blonde boy growing up in rural somerset during the 1980's his own.

Damn you
I wanted dibs on Samuel L.

I can imagine him portraying me aged fourteen arguing the toss over a detention for being cheeky which would have added kudos given at the time I was attending a whites only school in Cape Town.

Yes, he's so versatile.
Were there any explosions in your childhood?, or were you ever endangered by some unpleasant animals whilst travelling? Y'know slightly irked guinea pigs on a paddle steamer, that sort of thing. We've got to think of our target audience here.

There were in mine
I was in Cape Town the very year celebrating Guy Fawkes was legalized.

I got a detention from a prefect for letting off bangers outside class.

Maybe Samuel L could add some twist to it?
