[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Your favorite actor/actress in HP movies

[Missy Gallant]

Potioncat:
There is an American actor who does the same with me. I can't remember 
his name. For many years he played John-Boy Walton on TV. The character 
was an exceptionally nice young man. I watched the show all the time.

He also played in one episode of "Night Gallary" or similar type show. 
It was called, "The Sin-eater" and he played the son of a Sin-eater. 
When the father died, the boy had to eat all the sins his father had 
eaten in his life time. Ohhh horrible. I saw it once and I can remember 
almost the entire story, facial expressions and all. So why do I think 
of the one-shot character when I see him, instead of the long term 
performance?

Missy
Can't answer that.  But you should remember him as John Boy.  Much better.  Loved LOVED the Waltons, and if you get the chance, go to Skylar sometime.  OK- back on topic.


Back to HP actors. Except for Richard Harris and Maggie Smith, almost 
all the actors were new to me. I've really enjoyed seeking out other 
movies they've been in and watching the performances. In some cases 
it's been "Look, isn't that so-and-so?" but in other cases I've gone 
looking for movies.

Miriam Margoyles (sp?) is a riot in "Ladies in Lavender."

I knew Rickman and Emma Thompson.  I'm a fan of hers, and he seems to be in a LOT of the same movies she's in.

If you think Miriam is funny there, try to catch her in an interview on The Graham Norton Show on BBCA sometime.  She's one of the funniest guests he's ever had.
