Your opinion about casting Voldemort

Tonight I went to see Shanghai Knights and there was a character on there
that caught my eye. The first thing that I thought is that he would make a
perfect Lord Voldemort. Now the only trouble is that he is a bit young to
play him, but as I watched him up there on the screen I just kept thinking
how much he looked like Tom Riddle. The man who plays this character is
named Aidan Gillen. I have tried to find a good picture to show you, but I
just couldn't find one in which he still had the Tom Riddle look to him, but
here is one just so you can see who I am referring to.

Do any of you have an opinion on who you think would make a good Lord
Voldemort in upcoming Harry Potter movies? And what is your opinion about
whether or not this guy (Aidan) would make a good Voldemort?

Now me:
HA!!! I *love* Aidan Gillen, in the UK he played the main part of Stuart in
the original Queer As Folk (not the shoddy rip off you Yanks got ;) ). He is
EXACTLY what I imagine Tom Riddle to be like - annoying, cheeky, and
arrogant. Sadly, he has a very Irish accent - haven't heard him do anything
else, so I don't know if he can. But as someone else said, LV doesn't really
look like TMR anymore. But god, it'd be ace to see Aidan playing someone -
anyone! - in a HP movie...
