Joe,

  Something I was wondering about:  You told us David Crowley was
offered a bigger part in the show, but refused it.  Instead we got
Zack.

  I was wondering if he was offered a part on the credits, or whether
his part was just to be expanded.  If the former, it just boggles my
mind that someone would refuse that.  Even if you do get typecast (not
likely for that particular part IMO) being a co-star on a show has got
to look good on your resume not to mention your bank account.

  So, was he offered a job in the credits?

  (FWIW I liked Zack, but Lou was a fan favorite, and from a story
perspective he was the obvious person to fill Garibaldi's spot.)

Truth is, I don't remember.  But even if I did, I don't generally discuss an
actor's private business terms unless there's an extremely valid reason for
doing so.  

So if I did remember, I'd say it's private; but I don't, so it's moot.
