MOVIE: Just How Well Known Are The HP Movie Stars?

[M. Barnett]

The most recent thing I remember seeing Alan Rickman in (in the 
States) were Galaxy Quest (with Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, among 
others) and Dogma (with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jay and Silent Bob, 
and others).  I wouldn't say he's a harrison Ford ... I just don't 
think I could handle having 2 Harrison's int he world ... 1 is enough 
torment (only 'cause I can't have him) but I can't really tell you 
who Alan is close to over here .... I'll have to poner for a while. :)

And on a random Richard Harris side-note ... my roomie recently 
played Aurthur in the stage version of Camelot, which Richard Harris 
also played on Broadway some years back.  After the show the cast 
does the whole meet and greet the audience thing and numerous people 
went up to him and said that they had seen Richard Harris play Arthur 
on broadway and he (my roomie) was better!  YAH Doug!!!

Michelle :)  <---my roomie is cooler than Richard Harris, although he 
has no plans to play Prof. Dumbledore in the stage version of 
SS/PS ... yet :)
