[HPFGU-Movie] Casting Issues and suggestions

[Kriselda Jarnsaxa]

Matt Huber recently mentioned:

Oh, now that IS a good suggestion.  I could also see him convincingly as 
Lupin...

>How old is Rickman?

He's 57

>With his makeup and such he seems in his 50's. Oldman (pardon the pun) 
>does seem like an old man.

He's 45

Of some of the others mentioned, Jeremy Irons is 55, Viggo Mortensen (not 
British, so he doesn't really count) is 45, Hugh Jackman is 35, so he 
definitely is way to young for the part (mea culpa), Robert Carlyle is 42, 
Liam Neeson is 53... any I forgot to look up?  :)
