| | |  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.  | |

Sean is awesome!!
My sister loves him.
I know about his accent.
In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone, there's a part when Oliver Wood tells Harry about the three kinds of balls and everything. When he says, "The only thing I want you to worry about is..."
Listen to it carefully.
Nice accent~

He's great as Ben. I can't imagine someone else in that role. Sean is amazing! Congratulations on the part.

Been quite a while since we've last heard of him. Any recent photos or stills of him from this movie?
