Casting: Lupin

<<Hmmm....colin firth as sirius? Interesting possibilities. But to 
tell you the truth, colin seems way to...nice to play sirius. You 
know what i mean? Colin seems really preppy almost and doesnt seem to 
have that darkness sirius radiates. I could be wrong, i've only seen 
colin firth in Bridget Jones's Diary.  But, Sirius needs to be played 
by someone whose dark and mysterious, and i dont think colin is much 
of either. :) >>

I agree.  I saw Firth in Valmont and in Pride and Prejudice, and he 
was excellent in both.  But I don't see him as Sirius --as you say, 
he's not dark and mysterious enough.

I've said this before, and I know it's really wishful thinking, but I 
think Scott Cohen would be perfect as Sirius.  He's played dark and 
mysterious characters before (ex-Detective Harry Denby on NYPD Blue) 
and has played a character who was half man/half-wolf (10th 
Kingdom).  Unfortunately Scott's not a Brit but American, which means 
he probably won't be considered.
