Noticing HP Actors in Other Movies

[Dedalus Diggle]

I saw Trainwreck tonight. Dan Radcliffe was in a movie-within-the-movie called The Dogwalker. It was an angsty, artsy B&W film, where he is a dogwalker interviewing with dog owner Marisa Tomei, proving that he is knowledgeable and caring enough to walk her dog.

The other year, I went to see Wonder Woman with a friend of mine, and I had no idea David Thewlis was going to be the main villain (Ares, if I recall correctly), and the last time I'd seen him was in the Harry Potter franchise. Needless to say, when I saw him (maustache and all ) unexpectedly, my first thought was "Omg it's David Thewlis", colliding immediately into a second thought "Omg, it's Lupin!"

Thewlis is certainly a talented actor, I must say, being able to play a whole range of characters from the lovable (like Lupin) to the unlovable (like Ares). Ditto for Gary Oldman--loved how he was able to make Sirius appear like a terrifying madman and then later as a loving godfather once Pettigrew's betrayal was exposed and Harry was convinced he was innocent. Doesn't hurt that Oldman is easy on the eyes

Thewlis was also in RED2, playing a European fence and wine connoisseur - a semi-bad guy, but more like a hedonist who would do whatever it takes to support the extravagant lifestyle he wants.
