| | |  Sean Biggerstaff in 'Cashback'
Originally a Oscar-nominated short, the film Cashback, starring HP actor Sean Biggerstaff (Oliver Wood) was recently made into a feature-length film. Director Sean Ellis tells how he came to cast Biggerstaff as the lead. Quote:
I was so lucky in Cashback because we didn’t even have money for a casting agent so we made it on a shoestring. I originally wanted Jamie Bell to play the lead of Ben, and Jaime read the script and didn’t want to do it. Then someone said, “There’s a great young actor who’s just been in Harry Potter and he’s from Scotland. Would you meet with him?” So I said yeah.
I met with Sean Biggerstaff and I thought he looked right. There was something innocent about him but a t the same time, he was good-looking. He had this Scottish accent (imitates) and I couldn’t understand a thing! So I said, “Go away and make a tape of your voice in an English accent and send it to me.” And he sent it to me doing a voice-over in three or four different accents, and I knew at that point that he was bold enough to be able to do what I wanted. He had the range. So I cast him on that.
According to Wikipedia, Cashback does not have U.S. or U.K. distribution rights at this time.  | |

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
