Sirius Black casting [longish]

[sffcorgi]

I now reveal the secret of getting Jason Carter cast!

*cough* OK, it's not a secret, it's a lot of phone calls and crossed
fingers and such.  But here's what you/we can do:

+++ Write letters to his agent! (PLEASE)  Mitchell Stubbs loves the
idea of his client getting cast in two A-list blockbusters (*cough*
wonder why?) but seems really interested just on general purposes.

Jason Carter is represented in the United States by:
~ Mitchell K. Stubbs
~ 8675 West Washington Boulevard, Suite 203
~ Culver City, CA 90232
~ Telephone: 310-838-1200
~ Fax: 310-838-1245

I think an actor who meets the production qualifications who comes
with a built-in audience is definitely a good selling point, so let's
prove that audience is out there.  Mr Stubbs is definitely open to the
idea of fannish support on this!

+++ For those of you who might not be familiar w/ Jason Carter, I
quote from the IMDb: (link: http://us.imdb.com/Name?Carter,+Jason+(I))

Born in London and raised in Gainsborough, a small market-town in
Lincolnshire, Jason was advised to pursue a career in rubber
technology. He opted instead for three years at L.A.M.D.A. (London
Academy of Music and Dramatic Art). His first television role was on
BBC2's "Jackanory" (1965) in 'Hawkwing'. Jason then did long runs in
the London West End which included such plays as 'Melon' with Alan
Bates (qv), 'The Sleeping Prince' with Omar Sharif (qv), 'Salome'
with Steven Berkoff (qv) and his Royal National Theatre productions,
'The Boiling Point' and 'Absolute Hell'.

Upon moving to America, Jason expanded his career in numerous roles
and guest appearances. His television appearances included '3rd Rock
from the Sun' (1996), 'Roar' (1997), 'Almost Perfect' (1995) and
'Diagnosis Murder' (1992) (TV). In 'Beverly Hills, 90210' (1990) he
portrayed Roy Randolph, the dashing British theatre director.

Not forgetting what Jason is most known for in Science Fiction, the
role of the much loved and missed Marcus Cole on 'Babylon 5' (1994).
His credits also include numerous Television miniseries and made for
TV movies, including Taking Liberty (1993), Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris
(1992) (TV), Orchard House (1991) (TV) Ellis Island (1984) (mini) and
Forever Young (1983) (TV). Jason's movie credits include Georgia
(1995), Dakota Road (1990), Emperor's New Clothes, The (1987) and King
David (1985). Currently Jason resides in L.A. with his family. 

Nota bene: he has about 6 or so post-B5 TV credits, and 5 feature film
credits listed on the IMDb as well.

+++ Back in March, IGN posted a casting office contact for the HP
films.  Alas, Karen Lindsay-Stewart will NOT be casting PoA, but will
be instead forwarding the letters she has received to the new office,
when the production determines who that shall be.  I was told 'call
[phone #] in a couple of weeks', which means a little bit longer yet.

Also, I plan on contacting the Directors' Guild of America to get Mr
Cuaron's contact info, as the director is naturally very concerned
with whom he shall direct.
