Casting couch: Two suggestions for Lockhart (or, um, Lucius)

Thanks to Kelley for that older picture of Cary Elwes... hmmm.

I've a feeling that these casting posts should move over to OTChatter, but for now...... 

Okay,  I've done some digging around and come up with a couple of great blond British actors who would be great for Gilderoy Lockhart in WB's CoS.  Also, when I looked at them, I thought that either of them could also play Lucius Malfoy.

My first thought was Sean Pertwee, son of ex Dr Who Jon Pertwee (anyone notice a theme developing in my choices?), because he is sometimes reminiscent of Danny Kaye (who - death aside - would be the perfect American Lockhart, if not him, then a young Gene Wilder).  I've added a pic of him to the Members' Suggestions folder in our Graphics club.  Actually, he also looks a lot like his father.

A bit more digging around and I came across the perfect casting choice (IMO, IMO....) . It's Anthony Head, who, unbeknownst to me, plays a part in "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer" (never watch it... sorry Keith).  Apart from that he also made the role of Frank N. Furter his own in a revival of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and does camp *very* well, and Lockhart has to be as camp as tits to pull it off....

Head fits my age image of Lockhart.... but I would like to see him playing Lucius Malfoy.  There's a pic of him in the directory, too.  See this link:
