errr... like Guy Pearce, Rush is an Aussie...

Which doesn't mean to say that I think either of them would be 
particularly unsuitable for the parts in question! Far more so Rush 
than Pearce though. I think Pearce is a little young. Don't forget 
that TPTB have changed the time line just a bit by casting a 50+ 
Rickman to play an apparently 40+ Snape, whose peers Lupin & Co are 
meant to be. There's no way Guy Pearce could say with a straight face 
that he was in school with Rickman...

However, I caught a bit of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" on TV last 
night and suddenly realised I know *exactly* whom I visualised when 
reading the books: David Haig ("Bernard Geoffrey St. John Delaney", 
the Groom from Wedding II). I can't find *any* pictures of him 
online, anywhere! His IMDB page might remind *someone* though 
(despite there being no biog):

(late 40s, seriously balding, moustache)

He's best known to us Brits for loads of TV work, probably most 
noticeably in "Thin Blue Line" as the over-bearing, pompous, 
incompetent, (do those adjectives remind you of anyone?) CID officer.
