Boggles, we stand united against the inevitable flames in our
respective asbestos scanties. I agree with you 110%. =P

Actually, they were both in the film version of  Tom Stoppard's
"Rosencranz And Guildenstern Are Dead", which I LOVE!! Holy wow. No,
Tim Roth was NOT in RHPS. You're thinking of Tim Curry. Tim Roth was
in both Pulp Fiction (the couple who hold up the diner) and Resevoir
Dogs. Yes, Gary Oldman was in Imortal Beloved (or whatever), but he
was also in Bram Stoker's Dracula, True Romance, The Professional...
the list goes on. They would be perfect!! Gary Oldman's even worn
nappy, matted dredlocks before. 

It's the more the essence of the characters than looks that the actors
have to capture, really... If you combine Alan Rickman with Vincent
Cassel (in Brotherhood of the Wolf), that's about how I pictured
Snape.  =)


Frankie, who was in a cast of RHPS (performed Saturday nights under
the movie screen in Detroit, Michigan) for a solid year. Too much
information? Possibly. 


PS. I think my email is fixed-- if apostrophes above have turned into
question marks, then it isn't.
