Ever since I read Moody, I've had a view on who should play him - and normally I don't 
have sucn opinions. I thought Chris Ellison (who I very much doubt most Americans 
have heard of - he played Frank Burnside on 'The Bill') would be perfect for how I see 
the role. Bob Hoskins, I could live with but he'd change my perceptions a lot. Marty 
Feldman, to me, would probably have been too over the top to allow me to maintain my 
suspension of disbelief - too much focus on the 'Mad', without showing the Auror behind 
it all.
