| | |  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.

Sure hp is more recent, but he was still good (if not better) in BG.

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.
He was filming a scene in the strip club  he wasn't there of his own accord.

At least he won't be known as the "has-been" Harry Potter actor. It's great he's doing other movies, and I hope the other actors have success in that as well, I know Rupert has been in a few movies since being chosen for the role as Ronald Weasley.
Hurray for Sean Biggerstaff!

His words are so good to hear! I like when people talk like that. May be, I`m strange, but so....
It seems to me that he has grow up very much from the times he has been Oliver Wood!

I don't think that he shows any ill will towards HP but I do think that he is worried about being type casted for the rest of his life as "that guy that played that captain of that sport they had in Harry Potter".
I hope that he gets a bunch of great parts in the future and is able to break that type cast!!!

I hope he was joking too.
