Oh, jeez. The F[ü]cker is going to play John Hunter?

Don't get me wrong; I think Hollander's work as an actor is strong, but is he really right for this role? It really worries me. I'm a huge fan of John Hunter and while it's thrilling that they're making a series about his work, the description isn't giving me much confidence and the casting is a little less than desirable.

I desperately want to be proven wrong, though!
