Thoughts on casting Wormtail?

[Jennifer Prescott]

I love the Princess Bride -- just got it on DVD.
But Wallace Shawn is american!
(check out imdb.com for his details -- says he was born in New York.)

If only Robin Williams were british - he could pull off that line, "But
wasn't I a good rat?"
Or how abut Gerard Depardieu?  How come I cant think of any british
blokes to play Pettigrew?!

 For fear of falling swiftly overboard,
 But life is both a major and a minor key,
 Just open up the chord."
