| | |  Sean Biggerstaff interview
In an interview about his new film Cashback, HP actor Sean Biggerstaff (Oliver Wood) mentions the first time he met his friend and fellow HPer Alan Rickman (Professor Snape) at an audition. Quote:
I was walking down Buchanan Street and a friend of mine came running out and shouted: 'The baddie from Die Hard is here!' I don't think I'd actually seen Die Hard, so I walked in and went: 'Oh! You mean the Sheriff of Nottingham is here.' I'm sure he would have hated to have heard that.
And did his friendship with Rickman help when it came time to audition for the role of Oliver Wood in Harry Potter? Quote:
I don't know how much of a factor it was, but certainly a recommendation from Alan is no bad thing in this business.
And in case you’ve ever wondered why Oliver Wood wasn’t featured in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Quote:
I was at the read-through but [producer] David Heyman called and said: 'As it stands, you're a glorified extra and that's a waste of your time and our money. Sorry.' But, you know, what's the difference between doing two and doing three?
Cashback will be shown at the Glasgow Film Festival on Feb. 15 and 16.  | |

Well I think he should have been more than a glorified extra because they should have had the Quidditch Cup!
Cool interview though, can't wait to see Cashback!

I was disappointed for not seeing him in the third movie, too. Except at the very end when everybody watches Harry in awe. Die Hard? Don't think so.

Now I know why he wasn't in PoA, he was a glorified extra. How rude is that. Oliver is one extra I kinda liked. Anyway, cool interview.
