Starring in Ocean's 13?

An urban sophisticate writes:

"I've got a friend who reckons Mister Smith is going to be cast as the 13th player in the forthcoming Ocean's 13 (the sequel to Ocean's 11 and Ocean's 12). The character calls for a laid back guy, oozing style and life balance. With a bit of cheekiness, of course. I could see him doing it – is it true?”

Brad, Senior Gofer for Mister Smith, responds:

Whilst he's good mates with George and Brad (interesting note: Ms Smith dated Mr Clooney for a while) and actually knocked back Andy Garcia's role in the original, he won't be doing it. He would have done it had they been filming in Melbourne, but going to LA for that length of time was not feasible. The oldest is in school, the twins are starting kinder and Ms Smith can't take time off, as she is advising on a high profile takeover.

Nonetheless, he's working on a script with Bud Tingwell and Rove McManus about a high powered corporate type who takes time out to raise the kids and is recruited by a spy network to infiltrate rogue mothers groups. Keep an eye out for it – it should be in cinemas some time next year.
