Neither Urich nor the "Spenser for Hire" cast should be asked -- Joe Broz is
a character Robert Parker has used in the Spenser novels several times.
Broz is usually played in a much more dignified manner in the books; Parker
never mention any racial or cultural background for him, though.  They have
also used him in the show before.
