The black knight is a Monty Python character.  Nothing to do with 
Kevin Smith's work.  ;)  Asbestos longjohns are a long-standing 
tradition in Usenet groups and mailing lists when one expects 
flameage.  I was picking guys who are not your traditional 
heartthrobs, and while _I_ find them Dead Sexy, I am aware that I am 
a lady of unusual tastes indeed . . .

Hey, who're you calling a Muggle?  ;)

Yes.  He was also the head bad guy in _The Fifth Element_, but don't 
hold that against him.  He has quite the CV, actually; his list on 
IMDB is reasonably long.

No, that's Tim Curry, also of _Legend_ and _Clue_, among others.  He 
might have made an interesting Lockhart or Bagman, but that's neither 
here nor there.

In addition to _Rosencranz and Guildenstern Are Dead_, which has 
already been mentioned and is the best example I know of them working 
together, the best movie I know of with Tim Roth is _Four Rooms_. 
Very freaky film, that one.

I think they can both play the correct balance of ambiguity, trust, 
and menace.  They can also pull off the embrace in the Shrieking 
Shack without it being awkward, and make Snape Completely Losing His 
Marbles reasonable - they both do infuriating very well.
