[Severina Amadenna Salem-Snape]

His name is Ian Brown. http://www.ianbrown.co.uk/

I don't think I am in the minority, but I find it distracting when 
people just want to be in the film just to add it to their credits. 
It is sort of like the Star Wars films, and actors just wanting to 
say they were in the series. I would rather focus on the story and 
doing that well, than a "fluffy atmosphere."
