Baldyga has a Hollywood work history:

The Frozen website also describes him as a screenwriter for hire:

Assuming the book gets turned into a movie, whom would you like to see play Alcor's employees at the time?
My choices for a few of them:
Alfred Molina for Michael Riskin.
Ben Cross for Charles Platt.
Brian Dennehy for Dave Pizer.
Dustin Hoffman for Mike Perry.
Ned Beatty for Joe Hovey.
