He does look the part. But I don't think he sounds Sirius. No, it's 
not the accent. It's his voice. They might need to find a person with 
enough voice/stage training to match up against Rickman, especially 
in the SS scene when they need to confront each other. Viggo 
Mortensen's voice would really sound kinda weak and lack of intensity 
there. (Am I making any sense?)
