Re Sirius Black/Lupin Casting

[kechelsen at aol.com]

I have to say I really can't see Colin Firth as Sirius, but he'd probably 
surprise me if he got the role.  When I read the third and fourth books, the 
face that came to my mind when I read about Sirius was that of Scott Cohen 
(Wolf in 10th Kingdom, Denby in NYPD Blue, currently James Liberti in Street 
Time).  For photos, please check this out: <A HREF="http://detectivespack.50megs.com/index.htm">Robin's Scott Cohen Gallery</A>

This guy has played a wide variety of characters, from a half man/half wolf 
to a sleezy narcotics detective and now a parole officer with a weakness for 
gambling.  He thrives on playing characters with depth, which is why I think 
he'd do justice tothe role of Sirius.  However, he's American, so it's 
unlikely he'd get the part.

But what about Hugh Jackman as Sirius?  Someone else mentioned that earlier, 
and I think that might work.  Yes, he's Aussie, but he can do a very credible 
British accent  (check out Kate and Leopold).

As for Ralph Feinnes... not sure he'd be right for Sirius either.  But what 
about his brother Joseph?
