The LA Times has a short
new interview with Brendan Gleeson in which he talks about his role as Mad-Eye Moody in '
Goblet of Fire'.
Quote:
Were you familiar with the Harry Potter books and movies before being cast as Mad-Eye?
I have four boys. The youngest is 16 now. But they were mad for the books. There was a big shout when they heard there was a possibility of it, even. When I got the script I went to the boys, and they more or less told me what he was (about in the book). It was a real help that their impression of him had been so much fuller than what I read in the script.
He's kind of a father figure, and he's that kind of mad lunatic on your side, and he always seems to be there whenever you are in very bad trouble.
