Pesci as Columbo . . . interesting. I could just imagine him talking to Mr. Rowe and calling Justin and Cooper "yutes".

Mr. Rowe, in his condescending manner: "What's a yute?"

Even though I wouldn't really want to see someone else play the part, one person who occured to me is Kevin Pollack. I thought of him because he does a very good Peter falk imitation (not that an actual IMITATION would be called for). But THEN it occured to me that he has a knack for playing "quirky" characters in a way that isn't OVERDONE, just like Peter Falk himself.
