Hmmm I'm glad they found whoever they did to make the final poster (kidding!) :D I do like the tagline though. I get Neal's eyes are digitally done in the picture, but does he wear coloured contacts normally? (because he's nearsighted anyway, right?) mayb

Matt Bomer IS Neal Caffrey, the role fits him like a glove.

"His sentence ended with a proposition"--LOL!!!! Jeff, that is so word-geeky! I love it~~

That's awesome, thanks. It's pretty strange to see Leo's face linked to the name Neal Caffrey. And LOL at the tagline.

I understand about putting DiCaprio and Leary as the prototypes of the characters for the poster to sell it but I'm wondering if you already picked Matt and Tim to play them then too.

Peter"Stokes"?! Peter BURKE sounds much better - but why was the name changed? Definitely like Tim/Matt better than these two!

@xravenmoonx No, this was a tool to sell the idea to USA. Leary & Leo were prototypes. I was 6 months away from meeting Tim and Bomer.

Did they even ask for the pitch or the USA Network just said, "OK, we're sold. You shoot your pilot in 3 months" by just looking at that poster?

i get why this worked as part of the pitch, even though the show takes off pretty much after the movie ends. ditto with the tag line: love it! but you did a MUCH better casting job than presented!

I can understand DiCaprio as Neal, due to the Catch Me if You Can thing, but not sure about Leary as Peter.

I don't really know why, but I love the line: "His sentence ended with a proposition". It kinda made me giggle. As far as the actors go, I can't imagine anyone playing Peter or Neal except Tim Dekay and Matt Bomer. heh heh
