David  Copperfield 
as the title character, once again the protagonist whom the  action of the 
piece was revolving around. He wasn't just in a few scenes  like in Tailor of 
Panama. He had a lot of screen time in Copperfield and  the character, 
although a 
young child, still had to navigate some pretty  difficult emotions and 
actions. 
Dan has had a rather challenging acting  life so far ;-) I wouldn't mind 
seeing 
him do a character that maybe  didn't have to have so much inner life going 
on; 
maybe something lighter,  just to see how he handles it.



I've read about that David Copperfield show and would love to see  it 
sometime.  Maggie Smith and some other HP movie actors are also in  it.  It's not on 
DVD in the stores around here (I've checked!)  I  think Dan would be terrific 
in a comedy -- he has a great sense of humor and  seems to have a good sense 
of timing -- and he's been practicing his "stand up  act" on Robbie Coultrane, 
from what Coultrane has said in some interview or  other (he said Dan's always 
trying out jokes on him).  I can see Dan doing  some romantic comedies as 
well as dramas and character parts in the  future.
 
As for what Thewlis said about Dan needing to shave his head or  grow a beard 
to get other roles -- don't go giving that boy ideas!!!   heehee  Seriously, 
Dan probably will have to change his look for some  films, but as a serious 
actor (as he seems to be), that's pretty much  understood.  How often have we 
Americans seen Alan Rickman with his own  light hair?  Not that often.  He's 
often in a wig or has his hair  dyed, I suppose.  (I loved him as the deliciously 
evil and scenery-chewing  Sheriff of Nottingham in Kevin Costner's "Robin 
Hood:  Prince of Thieves"  -- Rickman MADE that movie!   ;->)
