Well, that is his natural color, so it shouldn't be too hard to go back. <g>

Well, I said he was the right age according to some sources. <g> I still just can't see the Marauders as being in their 50s, no matter how awesome the Snape casting is. I still envision Lupin and Sirius to be in their mid-late 30s in book 4, which is only about 5 years older than James now. But I agree, Tony Head would be good - I could see him as Lupin very easily. A little older than what I picture, but they did say Lupin looked older. <shrug>

<<But I'm skeptical of casting Americans in a film that is set in the 
UK with UK characters. British actors and actresses are very good and 
under-appreciated in the US. >>

Are you refering to James again here? <g> Because Tony *is British. LOL So there wouldn't be any problem with the all-Brit casting in his case.
