[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the book was a fun read, but funny while I was reading it I pictured Jason Momoa as her Dad. A shaggy paunchy JM. Was I totally off base?

I haven't watched the show yet. [/quote]

I actually think Offerman is perfect for this role. I totally believe him as a washed up drug addict professional wrestler, and he really is so good at getting you on his side and building empathy.

Because of him the Michelle Pfeiffer casting makes sense. I mean I think she was cast because isn’t she married to the creator David Kelly? But the aging makes sense. If they got some 40 year-old to play Margo‘s mom that would be gross because Nick definitely looks his age and if he had knocked up some 20-year-old at 35 I don’t think the show would’ve worked. I think they were both older when they had Margot, but that doesn’t mean they had their life together or that she had any resources to be a single mom so I still believe her as a down on her luck 50 something desperate to marry the creepy religious guy (Greg Kinnear is another great casting choice, I’ve always loved him).

But Jason Mamoa might’ve worked too. They just would’ve needed to get a slightly younger actress.[/quote]

So Nick can be 55, but a 15 year age difference (40 year old) is not believable if she's younger, but she can be 12 years older (Michelle is 67)?[/quote]

I feel like Offerman looks 55 but others might disagree. Michelle Pfeiffer is probably one of the most beautiful woman in the world and she has aged really well and it is not at all representative of the general population. I don’t think she looks 67. I think they are trying to make her look like younger but rough.

I think margos parents are supposed to be roughly the same age. Shrug. I don’t know. It doesn’t seem like they have said that these characters were super young when they had Margot. It doesn’t sound like they had their lives together necessarily, but the story doesn’t imply that they were teen parents or even in their 20s. But I don’t know, I haven’t read the book. Maybe someone else can clarify. 
Or maybe it will come out that she was in fact, 10 years older than him or something. Like I said, I haven’t read the book. I’m just speculating on what I think they look like.

Michelle doesn’t really play her age lately. She was just in a dumb Christmas movie where she played the mom of a college student. Unless she had the baby in her late 40s, I think they were trying to make her younger. And I think they’re trying to do that here too. [/quote]
