Actually, I recently saw "The Scarlet Pimpernel" and I thought Grant 
might make a rather good Sirius.  He does the quiet passion and 
determination thing very well, has a good build for the part, and 
isn't too hard on the eyes either ;-)  He's also very versatile, 
though (he was Cratchit in the version of "Christmas Carol" with 
Patrick Stewart, if I remember correctly), so he could probably 
handle Lupin very well, too.

mind on these things...
