Now there's a thought!  That's the first person other than who I've 
been imagining that would work for me.  Before this I have only ever 
imagined Daniel Lapaine (I believe he's Australian?) playing
Lockhart.  
There was a scene in the 10th Kingdom (a miniseries from last year), 
where Lapaine, playing a dog who's been turned into a prince, enters 
his coronation ball, slides down the bannister and stands, hands on 
hips, turns his face slightly to one side and smiles this huge corny 
grin.  This pose is exactly how I picture Lockhart's many many pics
of 
himself.  The grin is so big, and the teeth are so white, that I was 
expecting there to be a little 'Ding' and a white star gleaming on 
them. Plus he's already got wavy blond hair, and he can do both 
self-important snobbery and slapstick goofiness.  But if I don't get 
my way and have Lapaine, I could settle for Elwes.

Kline's not British.  He's from my neck of the woods - somewhere in 
the St. Louis area.  I want to say Afton (one of the suburbs), but I 
think that's wrong.  I think John Goodman's the one who's from Afton.
 
I love Kevin Kline, and I'm sure he could do it, but I'd still far 
rather see Lapaine or even Elwes in the role.  

Just my contribution on the matter,
