Update for a Reader

Thanks for the responses! As Chanda has requested, I have looked up the information on David Thewlis, Gary Oldman, James and Oliver Phelps.

David Thewlis


David Thewlis, age 48, played Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter movie series. After filming the last one, Thewlis has been working on a few films. "The Lady", which will be released by the end of the year, is a film about the life of Aung San Suu Kyi, who spent about a decade under house arrest. Thewlis plays her husband in the film. Also, he acted in the movie "Anonymous", a film about William Shakespeare which will be released Oct. 28. He is also working on "War Horse", directed by Steven Spielberg and set to release on Christmas day this year.

Gary Oldman


Gary Oldman, age 53, played Sirius Black in the Harry Potter movie series. He has been busy acting as well, working on four films since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy", which Oldman starred in, was released in the UK mid-September. He also stars in "Guns, Girls and Gambling", a film about a group of criminals searching for a Native American artifact that is currently in the filming process. "The Wettest Country in the World" casts Oldman as a gangster, and will be released sometime in 2012. "The Dark Knight Rises", another addition to the Batman movie series, in which he has played James Gordon, will be released July 20, 2012.

James and Oliver Phelps


I decided to list these two together, since they are twins after all and it would just seem unnatural not to. At age 25, they seem to have given up acting for awhile. Both are avid golfers, and enjoy to do this with Rupert Grint and Matthew Lewis, both Harry Potter co-stars.

As a personal side-note, Chanda and I have coined ourselves the "Weasley twins" after their notorious mischievous air and pranks in the Harry Potter series. Personally, I feel these two actors managed to completely envelop the Weasley twin characters' personalities perfectly.

Coming up next...
I will continue along with actors, but in a more editorial fashion; I will compare and contrast the two actors who played Dumbledore in the movie series, as well as discuss which actors fit the characters they portrayed and which ones did not. Any thoughts? Please let me know!
