McAvoy in Atonement..

erwfran · 09/09/2008 22:22

as i said in the worst actor thread, the ring wraiths in LOTR film, not strictly speaking actors though.
agree with Snape

LOOBYLOU2 · 09/09/2008 22:24

can I just say re Atonement .... I think Rosamunde Pike should have got the lead rather than Keira Knightley ....

TheGreatScootini · 09/09/2008 22:29

Yes!She would've been better.or Emily Mortimer or someone.(Im not the biggest fan of the Knightley though)
