Scottish actor Kevin McKidd, best known for his television roles on ABC's
Grey's Anatomy and HBO's series
Rome, recently
confessed that he was offered the role of werewolf Fenrir Greyback in
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but had to turn it down for another project at the time. Needless to say, when McKidd revealed this news to his children, they were not pleased.
Quote:
During an interview on U.S. talk show The View on Wednesday, he said, "I couldn't do it because I was busy doing a TV show called Journeyman before Grey's Anatomy... and I got offered it and I got sent this beautiful letter and they sent this artist impression of me as this werewolf.
"I was gonna be this crazy werewolf and I had to pass because I wasn't available. But I thought, 'I can't tell my young kids', because my kids were, like, five and six at the time, and I just told them now and they're still angry at me."
