I've noted a few comments recently about where Dan Radcliffe's acting
career might go after he has finished with the Harry Potter films;
after seeing some of his excellent interviews on the web (we poor
souls in the UK seem to see very little in the way of live interviews
with the cast) and his superb sense of comic timing I think Dan would
do very will in comedy. In the UK we have a tv sitcom called "My
Family" and the young actor, Gabriel Thompson, who plays Michael was
supposedly "pipped at the post" for the role of Harry Potter but won
the role of Michael instead. His mum in the series is played by
Madam Hooch herself Zoe Wanamaker. I think that Dan would be superb
in that kind of sitcom as he comes across as a very cheerful and
mischievous person when not playing Harry.
Incidentally, the young actress who plays Janet Harper in My Family
would, IMHO, make a superb Tonks for OOtP. Her name is Daniella
Denby-Ashe.
Another actress famous for her many and varied roles (including
comedy) is Judy Cornwell (see http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0180498/)
and I think she would make a very fine Umbridge indeed.
