How about Samual L. Jackson for Chance's boss.

Keeping with the shows tongue-in-cheek approach, Rick Springfield would be a great choice for the boss.

I actually think his ex-boss is going to be female and that he was involved with her - bitter breakup maybe? I'm sure it's already been cast, but I'd have to vote for Rhona Mitra from The Practice. She was a former Lara Croft model, and can pull off all the characteristics that Chance has and has the right combo of toughness and "hotness" - probably just wishful thinking...

Oh, and based on some chat-chat in the pilot, I'm pretty sure that Guerrero is Chance's brother. Surely his brother would know his real name.

Ok, I can buy that they only go through Winston and he acts as a gatekeeper between the clients and Chance... but it seems Chance always walks in on their initial meetings.

I have not read any of the comic books so I don't know squat about the character beyond the 6 episodes of this show I've seen, but I thought Christopher Chance actually was his real name, though he has hundreds of aliases which he's used in the past. Is there any evidence thus far that Chance is not his real name, or is that just a presumption?

I'm under the impression that he used to be some sort of bad guy of sorts, or at least was mixed up with the wrong people, and Winston - while working as a law enforcement officer (unclear if cop or FBI or whatever) saved him and got him out of the trouble. I'm sure we'll learn more about this. But that being the case, surely Winston would know who he really is. And he always calls him Christopher Chance. If he was really hiding his identity, he'd give each client a new fake name when they ask, with big, sobby eyes flushed with amazement and grattitude, "can you please tell me your real name?" But he always tells them his name is Christopher Chance. This ties his identity to one consistent alias. If we know nothing else, we know he's too smart for that.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd be surprised if Christopher Chance were not his real name.

I really liked "Hunter" it always reminded me of Dirty Harry a little. Fred Dryer would be perfect.

Perhaps the episode deviated a little from the past few, but it's better to change it up than get stale and boring. Besides the other scientist had been killed and in trying to rescue this scientist from being killed, Chance made himself a pretty big target.
Second these clients are hiring Winston to do the job.
They don't know or aren't aware of Chance.
Also his name is just another alias. Like the time that woman tried to i.d. him and it came up with a list of multiple aliases. He hasn't given out his real name.
Fourth it's not reality. In a show like this you've really got to just let go and not nitpick the details and suspend the disbelief.

If they could get Bruce Willis to do it, or even Richard Dean Anderson, that would be pretty good.

"Impossibly cute" describes Autumn Reeser perfectly!

I really enjoyed the episode, but I have liked all of them.
I don't know who should be the big-bad, but I think I read that Jan-Michael Vincent is too ill to work.
Wings Hauser would be good as the former boss. I never cared for "Hunter," so I wouldn't want the star from that show.
