mark! It's good to see you again too. It's been too long.

McAvoy is not only young, he looks young. This guy's almost 30, and he easily play a high-schooler. But he has an amazing chameleon aspect to him:\

"Last King of Scotland"
"The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe"
"Starter For 10"
"Atonement"
"Becoming Jane"
etc.

He highly versatile. He can play a drink-addled, corrupt, cowardly doctor, a faun, a lovable nerd, a tragic hero, and a charming cad with a heart of gold, all very, very easily. I could see him as a convincing hobbit.

He may make me re-think hobbits altogether though. Everyone knows I've always preferred elves, and now this...
