I wouldn't say Cherry Jones was a big star in 2004 nor would I say she is a big star now. She's a draw for me- MUCH more so than Liev Schreiber- but I consider myself to be in the minority.
Tyne Daly is a big star for people in their 40's and up.
I hope Amy Ryan does a brilliant job and the show gets great notices and people love it and it plays for months and months.
