Just a few replies to some different comments. To someone who has lived in the south her whole life, Zack does not sound southern. I think that actually Jeff Conway is from New York which would explain why he's played so many New Yorkerish characters. However, if you go to New Orleans, which is pretty dang south, you will be amazed. The majority of the natives sound like they're from Brooklyn! Explanation? Many, many years ago, a group of nuns came to New Orleans from New York to teach some of the black children how to read and the accent spread.
This next comment should not be taken in any way to mean that I think JMS should replace any of the actors.
There is a type of cgi known as cell shading. It's been used on one or two movies recently such as Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly. The movies were filmed with real actors and then "shaded over" with cgi imaging. These movies have a kind of cartoony look because the effect was done as if someone were animating the movie. However, there is another movie, a Japanese anime called Appleseed that has been done with a similar process. And I swear to you, there were scenes in the movie where the characters looked almost real. It can be done, but it's expensive and I don't think the WB is willing to give that kind of budget.
