I'm not familiar with a lot of the British actors/actresses, though Ralph 
Fiennes would do a fabulous job. When I think of Sirius and Lupin in PoA, I see 
both of them as very thin and malnourished - the only difference is hair color 
(eye color as well?), so in my mind a person I think would do well with Sirius 
for some reason also would do well as Lupin (Their personalities even seem 
similar, ecept for Sirius' firey temper).

I saw Reign of Fire last week, and had my first introduction to Christian Bale, 
and he would make a fabulous Lupin (IMO), I'm not sure how he'd do as Sirius. 
His character in RoF was more like I imagine Lupin, so that's why I say Lupin.

The production team has done well so far getting good people for the parts, so 
we should have little or no doubt that they'll find someone great for both parts.

If you're actually doing some research, try the Lurker's Guide to Bablyon 5 at 
http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/lurker.html, and read the Bablyon 5 Universe for 
the introduction.

Take care!

be out on DVD in November!)
