| | | Sean Biggerstaff talks Potter
In a new interview with The Sunday Times, Sean Biggerstaff (Oliver Wood) discusses his new film, ' Cashback', aswell as what he's gained from appearing in the first two Potter films. Quote:
When I tell him I have to ask questions about the Potter films, he grimaces and asks: “Do I have to answer them?” Dutifully, he says polite things about the opportunities Oliver Wood opened up for him, but he does so with a weary air.
“I loved the books and I’m very proud of being a part of Happy Potter,” he says. “Sure, I haven’t worked on it for two years and people still ask me about it. But I wouldn’t be where I am in my career or financially without it, so it’s a small price to pay.”
Quote:
Like Mark Hamill from Star Wars or the little girl from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, does he not realise he will still be answering questions about the film in 20 years? “Well,” he says with a touch of bravado, “I’ll just have to make sure I do enough between now and then to ensure that’s not the case.”
Quote:
Asked how he dealt with being dropped, he refuses to accept it as a setback. Wasn’t he disappointed? “Well, in some ways, yeah,” he says. “But I don’t think there was anything in particular that my career was going to gain from being in three Harry Potter movies that it didn’t gain from being in two. I think my bank manager was more disappointed than I was.”
Quote:
The fame which the Potter movies still generate seems to exist in another world, he says. “Most of Thailand have written to me. I’m not sure why. It doesn’t really make itself felt in my day-to-day life.”
The entire interview can be read here.
Interestingly, Sean stars alongside Michelle Ryan (Zoe Slater from Eastenders) in his new project.

Still...that's sooooooooo cool that he's making other film(s). I wish him luck, but if I see him walking down the street I'm gonna be all OMG it's Oliver Wood! & then I'll glomp him. |

| I hope his movies are released in the U.S. I think he's a great actor and very cute. I think anyone who's involved in really big movies are most likely going to be asked about it years later. It is the price you pay. However I don't see what's wrong with being asked about HP.

I remember him more from Biker Grove (UK teen programme) and a film he did before BG.
Sure hp is more recent, but he was still good (if not better) in BG.
Well, he's got the looks, the accent and that naughty smile  , so i'm positive he will do great in his career.
woot woot for sean |

Now, why in the world would someone that cute need to hang out in strip joints. I have lost a lot of respect for him. He'll probably end up being a dirty old man.

| Hmmm.. hope the movie comes to the US! I wanna see Sean.... teehee No, but really, I hope he gets to be known for something other than HP. I mean, don't get me wrong, I adore Harry Potter (well, duh!) and I think he was a great Oliver Wood, but he's such a great actor... I think it'd be a shame if Wood was all he was known for. |
