[HPFGU-OTChatter] The actors in the movie......Ian Hart

[Tandy, Heidi]

I have tos say, since I learned he'd be playing Quirrell, I've been
intrigued by the casting decisions. I know there are people here with
longstanding "appreciation" for Alan Rickman- well, I "appreciate" ian Hart,
if not as adamantly. 
In Backbeat, he played John Lennon and did a wonderful job, although it was
marketed as a movie featuring Stephen Dorff, who played the tragic Stu
Sutcliffe. I think he aalso played Lennon in The Hours and Times, but I am
not sure. Makes me wonder if jkr's beatlemania had anything to do with it. 
If he hadn't been cast as Quirrell, he would've made a wonderful Lupin, and
I am sorry he won't be able to take that part.
