	Ving Rhames is the new Kojak (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Hands down choosing Rhames is the wisest of possible choices.Theres no replacing an original, but with his training in classical theater/cinema, and his integrity within choosing his roles(Never once have I seen Ving play the stereotypical 'fl guy' role; even his villainous charaters are portrayed profoundly),Rhames is no doubt an orginal himself.
		Rhames did some sort of interview on a commercial for the show, stating the only things used from Telly Savalas's original Kojak were the ''lollipop and the name.'' Oh, well, and of course it's about a tough-guy police detective, in a big city, with a shaved head, and a snappy dresser...yeah, right, ''new, original series....''
		Ving Rhames is an excellent actor, I have seen him in many roles, and I feel he does justice to this role.

	Undisputed Review Movie Review Film Undisputed: Wesley Snipes, Ving Rhames, Peter Falk, Wes Studi, Jon Seda, Michael ...
		Everything is fine and dandy in Sweetwater, until recently convicted Iceman Chambers (Ving Rhames), the "undisputed" world heavyweight champion, is transferred to the facility.
		Despite some commendable efforts from Snipes and Rhames, as well as some of the supporting cast, we never have any reason to give a damn about who's going to win the big fight, and who's going to make off with a nice chunk of change depending on the victor.
		Rhames is excellent in portraying Chambers' bravado and arrogance, and through the use of a subplot involving his claims of innocence against accusations of rape, we're meant to believe he has some redeeming value.

	Ving Rhames New Kojak » Outside The Beltway \| OTB (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The cable channel will roll out its remake of the 1970s CBS detective drama “Kojak,”; starring Rhames in the role made famous by Telly Savalas, as a regular series set to debut in March.
		But USA executives were so pleased with the first film, which wrapped production in August, that they were able to work out a schedule with Rhames to allow for the production of eight additional one-hour episodes, beginning January in Toronto.
		While the casting of a gigantic fl man to play the role is a departure from the original, Rhames should be able to pull this off and quite possibly improve upon the Savalas version.
