Harry Potter 6 - Casting Call

What hapened to the boy who played Tom Riddle in the Chamber of Secrets (just out of curiosity)?? Has he quit or something. :confused:
 
I think he's just too old to play it. I remember them saying at the time he was older than what they were looking for but he did such a good job they hired him anyway.

EDIT: Just checked - he's 30 next year so definitely out of the age range!
 
Anyone going for the Tom Riddle role should note that they will DEFINITELY be looking for someone who is very similar to the actor who played him in Chamber Of Secrets (Chris Coulson). Well-spoken, tall, dark hair and features (although hair can be dyed dark, Daniel Radcliffe dyes his). 17 or 18 would be the ideal age. If you know anyone like that get them to audition. The part will just be two scenes (three at the most).

It's likely that later on in the year they'll be looking for someone to play the 11-year-old Tom Riddle so watch out for that.
 
WELL I'm quite well-spoken, 18 years old, tall (6"0), dark hair - though I have blue eyes,... eek!
I guess I can only give it a try - there's no harm in finding out. I've been trying to get into the films for a while now, so this could be a last chance.
 
Whenever this happens I always get bitter that I'm far too old to take part. They usually want under 18s or so and I'm in my twenties now. I look sixteen, though, easily, but they make you provide proof of ID. Dang it, LOL.
 
Ill be going down.

Well spoken though.... thats my only problem, im a northerner. Might have to practice Recieved pronunciation over the next week.

Wonder how much the winner is likely to get paid? And i heard that Rupert Grint has to snog every single one of the Lavender Auditionees ;P
 
Well just think of how Ralph Fiennes speaks as Voldemort in Goblet Of Fire. That's what they'll want sort of. Not sure how much they pay, like I said it will only be a small number of scenes even though they're important. Oh, and Rupert Grint doesn't have to snog ALL the potential Lavenders (after all, that could be thousanRAB of girls!) just the final ones.
