Most of us are familiar with Atkinson as his famous wacky character
'Bean'. However, in a relatively long running BBC series, I believe he
played the role of the Black Adder (adder is a snake) in the show by
the same name. 

Black Adder had it's share of humor, but it was more biting and
sarcastic, and more dialog oriented than the 'Bean' series with is
mostly sight gags.

So, I think it might be possible for him to pull it off. However,
that's not how I pictured Voldemort. I picture him more as a slightly
overweight English business gentleman who just happens to look like a
snake and just happen to be horribly evil. 

I guess we'll have to wait and see.
