[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Casting Voldy in GoF

[Iggy McSnurd]

Ok then, folks... Who would YOU want to cast as Voldemort in GoF?

(I have a few alternatives from Tim Curry... I mostly consider him from his
roll in Legend...)

Jeremy Irons (tall, thin, wiry, can play psychotically unnerving roles....
only problem is whether you want LV to look about the age Irons' is...)

Definite physical mismatch, but Anthony Hopkins would be able to do the
scary part... *grin*  (Does the name "Hannibal Lechter" ring a bell to
anyone?  *chuckle*)

Believe it or not, Toby Stephens might work as LV, IMHO.  (He played "Gustav
Graves" in 'Die Another Day', the latest Bond movie...  While his character
comes across with a warped sense of himor at times, he has a lot of
mannerisms that would work, and can definitely have an evil look in his
eyes...)



Also, who do you think would be the 5 worst choices for LV?

Here are mine...

Hugh Grant.  (Yeah... can you imagine LV stuttering as much as HG does in
almost every roll I've seen him in?)

Rowan Atkinson  (Yes folks... It's "Mr. Bean and his Death Eaters.")

Benny Hill  (Ok, bringing him back from the dead WOULD make him a lot more
impressive in the role, but even then, can you imagine a berlesque version
of LV?)

Sean Connery  (Good actor, but could you imagine LV with a deep, thick,
Scottish brogue?  "The name's Voldemort.  Lord Voldemort.")

(I haven't thought of a fourth one yet...)



(As a side note, a couple of us were debating whether or not Carey Elwes
would have been able to pull off the Lucious Malfoy role.  I personally
think he would... He's played some reall jerks and malicious people in some
of his acting.. my only doubt, really, would have been if he could get that
evil glint in his eye the actor who does play LM has...  Comments?)
