I hadn't gotten to get my hands on 'gateway to the spainish main' until just recently, and still hadn't gotten to read it yet... i'll fix that then! James Earl Jones works GREAT for Cummings. Billie Dee Williams could also work as well. they both have the age to pull off the role, and the charisma to be good enough to inspire so much loyality.
