Richard O'Brien is the legendary(?) creator/composer of "Rocky Horror 
Picture Show", who also acted as the creepy butler. He's also in 
loads of low-budget cult-movies. I've only seen him in Rocky Horror, 
Ever After, and Dark City. I mean he's cool but really really 
unlikely choice (and surprisingly fit!?) since he's not someone you'd 
associated with "handsome" and "hot". He definitely fit the vampiric 
look of post-Azkaban Sirius.

I too think Timothy Dalton & Jeremy Irons might looked bit too old, 
but who knows after magic of makeup and hairdo. I know Alan Rickman's 
around 60, but he came off nicely as early 40-ish as Snape (everyone 
I know was shocked to find out his real age).

How tall is Ian McKellen? I remember liking the fact Richard Harris 
is a very tall Dumbledore.
CGI....I mean there're tons of fine grey hair actors in Britain, it's 
not THAT hard to find someone right? (instead of spending loads of $ 
& time to create a CGI person, sounds like a last resort)
