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

I saw him in some commercials and he was quite gaunt looking, didn't
need makeup to look a bit haggard.  But I think he would be a better
match for Lupin, see more below....

All these comments could apply to Jason as Lupin, in my opinion.  I am
a big fan of Carter and would dearly love to see him in PoA but wonder
if he could sound gruff enough to be Sirius.  I think he would be
great as a sickly Lupin, who would be hollowed out in the face as
well.

Either way, here's hoping Jason gets a shot.
