In a
new interview with Variety,
Harry Potter producer, David Heyman, praises the cast members of the films. He talks about some of the acclaimed adult actors as well as the younger cast.
Heyman states that he is as equally proud of those cast members who have smaller parts and are not in the limelight as much as others:
Quote:
David Heyman, who’s produced the five “Potter” films to date and expects to finish the series by 2010, is quite aware of the budding talent populating the franchise—and he doesn’t just mean Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. He’s just as proud of Sean Biggerstaff, Tom Felton and Devon Murray.
“The smallest part is treated with the same attention and care as the lead roles,” he says. “Not just in the casting, but also the directing.”
He also acknowledges how much of an advantage that the cast may get from being in the
Potter films, allowing the kids to spread their wings into more ambitious projects such as Dan in
Equus.
Quote:
“If they become that,” Heyman says, “it’s because of their commitment and curiosity to develop their craft. We’ve given them the platform, but they’re here because they’re good.”
He also addresses the importance of the older actors and their influence on the younger cast as actors:
Quote:
“They’re learning by doing and also by watching,” acknowledges Heyman. “Dan, for instance, has talked about what he’s learned from Gary Oldman. The older actors are quite generous.”
So what's next for this producer?
Quote:
"Producing films other than 'Harry Potter,' specifically 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas,' 'Is There Anybody There?' and 'Yes Man.'"
