With the recent news that NBC is planning to add a one-hour drama to its fall lineup about a "vigilante philanthropist", we thought it would be wise to ask what actor or actress should play the lead role. We'll announce the results on Thursday, April 17.

I, too, would enter my own choice if there was a free text field. Denzel Washington.

My vote is for Andre Braugher, Emmy-winning actor from the TV series Homicide, and more recently in Thief on FX. He has the gravitas and charm for the role.

How about Morgan Freeman? He looks the part, could carry the part well.

We've added both Andre Braugher and Morgan Freeman to the list. I'm sure NBC's executives are wishing they had access to all of these fine actors for this show.

This is as disgusting as Oprah's Big Give.  We had "The Millionnaire" in the '50s or '60s - do we really need to go back in time to that way of thinking?
