I do know who you mean. But I've never seen him playing a good guy. (Unless you 
want to count those episodes when he and Xena and co. are on the same side for 
some temporary reason.) He's supposed to show a fair amount of warmth and 
concern in GoF, remember. And I don't think I've ever seen him look desperate as 
Ares, either (though I haven't watched most of the episodes-- my husband used to 
be watching it as I'd get home from work.) Looks-wise he's fine, but I just 
haven't seen him portray the emotions/attitudes Sirius will need, at least not 
on Xena. What else has he done?

Oh yeah. Just thinking of his performance in that last Zorro movie, as the "old" 
Zorro.... yeah. A controlled (more or less) madman. Perfect.

Not that I know enough British actors (or any actors) to make any more 
constructive suggestions than that....

I wonder how they'll do Moody's Mad Eye? He's not going to be on screen as much 
as Harry, but so far their track record on "eye" effects isn't so good.
