I'm not a "detractor" but I just pictured Sirius as a "burly" kind of guy 
with a big build even when he was skinny after just getting out of Azkeban.  
Liam Neeson is big that way, as is Hugh Jackman.  Viggo is a wee bit leaner 
(finer boned) than I thought Sirius should be, but still suitable.  Gary 
Oldman is so fine-boned, he just doesn't fit the "big black dog" image I had 
as a dog or a man.  Okay, as for what things I've seen him in:  The Fifth 
Element; Imortal Beloved; Hannibal; Jesus; Lost in Space; Air Force One (he 
was REALLY nasty in that one!!); The Scarlet Letter; Murder in the First; 
Dracula; JFK; and The Firm.  (Thanks for the list, it was a good 
memory-jogger.)  He just isn't the physical type I pictured when reading the 
books, and that disappoints me.  Hugh Jackman, though -- he'd be wonderful in 
it!  Ah well.
