I was reading James Crumley’s The Last Good Kiss and watching the first season of HBO’s Perry Mason contemporaneously, and Matthew Rhys just kind of became CW Sughrue in the process. Paul Giamatti was once linked to a film adaptation of the character, if that gives you any indication.

I read that recently as well. I pictured younger Jeff Bridges as Sughrue and Orson Welles as Trahearne, probably because it was written in 1978.

I feel like real-life young Jeff Bridges was a bit too clean cut, but a young version of old Jeff Bridges would be perfect, if that makes sense.

It does! That's probably what I was thinking, too. He plays "grizzled" so well now it's easy to forget he was such a pretty-boy.
