Casting Sirius

[Daisy]

I've said this before, and I'll say it again (!) but the only man I 
will be happy to see play Sirius Black is the brrrrrilliant 
Christopher Ecclestone.  He is a *superb* character actor, as well as 
looking the part...well, in my mind anyway!

[For those of you who don't know him, he has been in films such as 
Shallow Grave, Jude and Elizabeth. He is probably best known on TV 
for Cracker and Our Friends in the North and I saw him onstage as 
Hamlet last week, in which he was utterly superb.]

Anyone persuaded...?
