Ben Shepherd, a TV presenter known for hosting on MTV, Channel 4, T4 & ITV, has
landed a role in
Half-Blood Prince. Ben has previously also done work on behind-the-scenes programmes about the films.
Quote:
He told Heat Radio: “They’ve given me a moustache, they’ve given me sideburns. I’m loving it. I’ve got facial hair for the first time, aged 33.”
UPDATE:
The Nottingham Evening Post has more details on Ben's role in the film. He apparently played the part of a parent at the Weasley twins' joke shop.
Quote:
Ben revealed on his Heat radio show: "My lack of puberty says I can't have beards.
"I've got a part in the new Harry Potter film and when they did my costume fitting I said 'Is there any chance I could have some sideburns?' So they stuck some sideburns on me and I said 'I couldn't have a cheeky moustache could I?'"
