Sirius Casting

<<Was Gary Oldman in that delightful travesty Beethoven?  Tim Roth 
sounds like he should have been in the Rocky Horror Show (or did I 
get the wrong guy here?).  I am sure a knowledgeable HPfGu-er will 
put me right, but not too right I hope :-))>>

You're right about Gary Oldman -- he was Beethoven in Immortal 
Beloved.  But for Rocky Horror Picture Show, it was Tim CURRY, not 
Roth.

Oh,speaking of RH --just a bit of ot trivia -- I was in London in 
JUne and saw the new musical at the Palladium -- Chitty Chitty Bang 
Bang (yes, they made the movie into a stage show!) I was interested 
to read in the programme that the man who played the ChildCatcher, 
one Richard O'Brien, was the same person who wrote Rocky Horror, and, 
I'm told, was the hunchback in the movie -- 

But, getting back on topic, I don't know about Oldman playing 
Sirius.  He just doesn't strike me as the right type to play Black.  
I've stated my choice already, <g>, but I won't repeat myself as I 
don't want to turn people off by sounding like a broken record <G>.  
I don't know Tim Roth, so I can't make any comment on him.
