Actually, I'm more worried about Rupert from this angle. One thing Dan has 
in his favor is that he's visually a bit of a chameleon, especially when 
you take off his glasses. I've saved a handful of pictures of him, and when 
you place them side by side, it's almost difficult to see that they're of 
the same person. Add the fact that future roles will most likely be without 
the glasses, and I think Dan will be fine.

On the other hand, after listening to several interviews with him, I have 
to say that I'd love to read a book by him or see a movie for which he 
wrote the screenplay (after he's gotten a few more years under his belt). 
His command of language and ability to communicate his thoughts in a mature 
yet accessible fashion are, I think, impressive. I'd miss seeing his face 
on the "big screen", but I think I'd prefer to see him write.

Not that what I'd like him to do matters a farthing.... <grin>
