Yeah, but Barty Crouch Jr is such a small role - he only gets to look like 
himself in a flashback (to the Pensieve) and after he gets outed, and then 
he gets the Dementor's Kiss and goes away :(   Though... with a bit of 
makeup (and the eye and misshapen nose would make makeup necessary to begin 
with, so it wouldn't be that much of a problem....) he could do 
Barty-as-Moody and then Moody-as-Moody in later movies...  <evil grin>

Casting by hormones is fun!  :)
