Sean Bean as Sirius: 

> >   Sean Bean, like Alan Rickman, has a special facility for 
playing the "foppish ass" type (although you want to punch him 
instead of shag him). He was the baddie Lord Fenton in the SCARLETT 
miniseries (god, did that suck - but it was not the cast's fault).  
He was also the baddie recently in DON'T SAY A WORD (god, did that 
suck - but again, is wasn't really the cast's fault).  It's too bad 
that Billy Connolly is now rather too old to play Black, although I 
could see him as Mad-Eye Moody.

Sean Bean also played the title role of Richard Sharpe in the BBC 
production of the movies based on the novels by Bernard Cornwell.  
(Find them--they're wonderful!)

Sharpe is quite a bit like Sirius--quick to anger, totally loyal, (& 
dead sexy to boot <g>) and fiercely protective of his friends.  

Bean has the ruggedly handsome bit down pat, IMNSHO.  He'd be 
wonderful as Sirius (that is, if Neil Gaiman can't act. 

Peace & Plenty,
