great idea for a remake, if one must be done. Braugher's a powerful actor who brings it no matter what role he plays. I'll be curious to see what Eric McCormack does now that he's no longer playing a gay man. I've seen him in several interviews, and I swear he's picked up some of the speech and mannerisms of the stereotyped gay character he was playing on "Will and Grace".
