I think this role would be better played by Robert de Niro, they both have the look but De Niro has the rash....

how could i write a letter to doctor jack kevorkian, i grew up hearing about him and i feel what he did was wonderful and he should never have gotten in trouble for it, there are lots of people in this world who would love to have him around, i know i would, im 46 and know when my time gets closer i dont want to be a burdon on my family
i feel assisted suicide should be legal, we should have the right to decide if we want to live or die
i will always feel that Doctor Jack Kevorkian is one of the greatest humans alive he cares about people and our rights
