Q: I just read the James Bond short story "Quantum of Solace," but it didn't seem anything at all like the film. Was it just a very loose adaptation?
It wasn't an adaptation at all.
The 2008 film "Quantum of Solace," the second with Daniel Craig as super spy James Bond, was a completely original script that only took its title from a story by Bond's creator, Ian Fleming. And that wasn't the first time.

Q: Has anyone from "Doogie Howser" -- other than Neil Patrick Harris -- gone on to hit the big time?
Maybe "big time" is a bit strong, but Max Casella has made a good living for himself since playing Doogie's best friend, Vinnie, on "Doogie Howser, M.D." He is, however, pretty well the only one.
Casella has split his time about evenly between TV and film, but he's most recognizable these days for his turns on a couple of hit HBO shows.
He played Leo D'Alessio, a small-time gangster from Philadelphia, in the first season of the network's period crime drama "Boardwalk Empire."
