Jason as Sirius (& Casting comments in interview)

[Steve]

I've listen to the Jason Carter for Sirius comments for a long time.
And, as an unbiased bystanded I thought I would through my comments in.

I have very limited exposure to Carter as an actor, but this is my
impression of him. He's perfect.

He already has the long hair and beard, so it's a very natural look
for him.

He thin to start with and he also has high cheekbones which give his
cheeks a hollow appearance. Now, on a healthy well feed person these
are extremely attractive feature, but with a little make up they also
lend themselves very well to producing a gaunt stress-out starved
appearance.

He's cocky, that is, he seems to be someone who radiates
self-confidence. As Sirius was one of the best students in school,
this aura of self-confidents is important.

Next, somewhat related to confidence, dispite his somewhat rough
appearance, he seems approachable. Someone that dispite his rough,
stressed, starving scary appearance, Harry could quickly find
endearing and have trust in. While he has this 'approachable'
charisma, he also seems like someone you do not want to cross. He can
obviously switch from friendly to overpowering and scary very fast.

As far as age, Sirius, Remus, and Peter have all lead extremely
stressful lives and as commented on in the book, look old beyond their
years.

Looks like a pretty good match to me.

But then, that's just my opinion.
