   I also whole heartedly agree that Dan should play Harry's 
father.  I think it would be a great opportunity for him. I've heard 
other posters, from another listing, say that they thought it would 
be cheesy and it would confuse the non-reading audience.  I really 
don't think the non-reading audience is that slow.  Surely the 
change in personality and being called JAMES (or Harry 
saying "Dad?") would not be that hard to understand.

   I don't know how to link, but I uploaded two pictures of Dan's 
parents to the lists photo album.  One is from the COS premiere and 
another is Dan and his father in the studio lot (I hope I am allowed 
to use that).  I personally think Dan looks more like his mother!
