| | |  The story of Devon Murray
The Irish Sunday Mirror has run a feature on Devon Murray (Seamus Finnigan) which tells a sort of mini-life-story of the actor with frequent references to Harry Potter.
It offers a new insight into the young actor including facts like Devon's dream is to win a gold medal for show jumping at the 2012 Olympics.
The entire piece can be read here. Quote:
"My proudest moment was when JK Rowling came over, hugged me and told me I was perfect for the part. For the creator of the character to believe I truly encapsulated what she was trying to achieve was better than anything anyone could have said. I was gobsmacked but absolutely thrilled at the same time."
Quote:
"I remember seeing Richard Harris and Robbie Coltrane and was completely overwhelmed - but now it's really normal. Every time we resume filming it's like a big family reunion."
Quote:
"There's no way I'd ever think above my station. Firstly my mum would knock me downagain but secondly it's just not a nice way to be.
"I've just been very lucky in getting to do what I do."
Quote:
"I really want to keep up acting but horses are my real passion. In fact, my ideal role would be in some kind of horsey film - that way I'd have the best of both worlds. If they ever made Shergar again I'd do anything to star in it.
"At home I've six horses and one foal and they're the first things I want to see when I get home - after my family of course."

I knew he loved horses, but I never knew he was quite that passionate about it! I hope he can get into a horsey film, it sounds like his dream.

Bahaha, if JK Rowling came over to me I would probably struggle to string words together. I get like that around famous people, especially someone like JKR. Lol, poor women would think I was disturbed.

My cousin rides with him sometimes, in Co. Kildare; I've been with her, but she refuses to let me talk Potter with him for fear he'll get a big head. *rolly eyes*

Murray sounds like the type of person I'd be friends with. He seems awfully down-to-earth, and he's got his priorities straight. What a great kid.

I've always thought he had a more sensitive side. I can look at people and sometimes see how they are by the way they act. I remember staring at him for about 45 minutes when he and the Phelps Twins came on that autograph tour with the Star Wars kid. He acted like the sweetest and most caring young man to everyone he talked to! I wanted to meet him and the twins SO badly, but they went to lunch before I could get to them.  But I can say he is very short in person! And I'm not that tall!

awwwwww, I'm jealous! Horses AND acting. If I could get over the fact that he's like 6 years younger than me, I'd say how cute that was. LOL But I definitely think it's awesome that he knows exactly what he wants out of life!
