Viggo gets the nod (WAS Viggo! and, why is Sirius so darn hot?)

I was going to post this on OT-Chatter where the thread originated, 
but as it concerns only casting for the PoA Harry Potter movie, I 
thought it best to move it over here.

OK, ladies.  As self-appointed head caster for PoA, I say Viggo has 
to get the nod for Lupin, not Black.  Hose him down and clean him up, 
and I think he'd be a great Lupin.  Very wolfy.  Viggo may be 
naturally sexy, but we can tone that sexiness down with florescent 
lighting.

I agree that Viggo could play Black, but Black is a *lot* easier to 
cast that Lupin, and Lupin is more important because he has more 
scenes.  Let's not waste Viggo on Black.

As for the guy who played Boromir?  Nope, he's out.  He can work for 
the caterer, but he can't have an acting role in PoA.

promises to snap out of it)
