Here's a very intriguing story from The Telegraph: a 21-year-old Potter fan from California has been outside of Leavesden Studios (where all the Potter films are shot) since Monday in an attempt to get a role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
The student has maintained the 12-hour watch since Monday - and vows to use every penny of his savings to carry on "as long as it takes".
Brent said he sent the makers of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' a string of pleading letters, but when these were ignored he "decided to come to them".
His dedication has already cost him a new job in the US, £1,400 on open return flights, and £400-a-week on accommodation and living expenses in Watford.
Each day Brent has stood holding various posters and placards to try and grab the attention of film bosses make is mark on the film industry.
We'll update you again on Brent's attempt when we hear more. A question for all of you: Should the filmmakers give him a role, or will it open the way for more fans to do what Brent is doing? Let us know in the comments!

Thats so stupid, and so not Harry Potter-esque. No way should they give him a role (but they should definitely give me one, hint hint, if anyones reading...).

No, he shouldnt get a part in the movie. What would that teach the rest of us? If we just sit outside the studio, well all get to be in the movie. That wouldnt work out too well. I say to send him packing!

Of course it would be every fans dream to get a role in the Harry Potter films, and goodness knows that a few of the cast members were indeed fans before they were cast...but they also went through auditions with thousands upon thousands of others. To give a Harry Potter fan a role just because he was harassing the film makers would be nice in a perfect world, but there are too many of us! It just wouldnt be fair.
What about Make-a-Wish kids?

I like the way the cast has remained ENTIRELY British throughout the entire series...it should remain that way...this person if from California, so therefore should NOT be cast. There. Said and done.
However, he also should not get the part just because hes sitting outside the studio...homeless people sit outside the White House, why dont we just let them be President of the United States...sure, why not? HA...wrongo. This guys a nut.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-27 22:05:41
Actually, the cast hasnt been ENTIRELY British throughtout the movie adaptations. Christopher Columbus daughter was in the first and second and he was an American director. But I agree that this guy should not get a role just because hes dedicated. The only time creeping outside of a Harry Potter establishment worked was being first in line for the seventh book. Best night ever. :)

if theyve decided to keep it all british, it should be kept all british. if they let this guy in, they might as well have opened up the cast to (talented) american actors, as well. as much as any harry potter fan would LOVE to be cast in the movie, that doesnt mean the producers should reward this guy for being particularly obnoxious.
(also, this is probably why europeans are less inclined to like americans, anyway; we have this ridiculous sense of entitlement where we think we should get whatever we want, regardless to other peoples concerns. im not saying all or even most americans are like this -that would be a stupid generalization- but this is probably how the rest of the world sees us: sticking our noses in because we think we have the right to, or because we want to, or both).
also, what kind of idiot do you have to be to give up your job? i mean, i suppose its nice hes not doing it for the money (like any fan would), but come on. are we suppose to sympathize with his stupid choices? feel bad for him because he decided to sacrifice that much?
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-27 22:10:10
no, thats being annoying. you dont deserve awards for being annoying. and its supposed to be all british anyway. AND. what role would he play? or just an extra. either way hes wasting his time and money.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-27 22:10:45
yeah, well Chris Columbus is not a member of the cast, so that doesnt count, but as for his daughter, WOW i definitely did not know that!...but seeing as her part was so minor that she was completely unnoticeable i dont count her either...hehe :) haha about the line for the seventh book, you are so right.

NO! Unless he posesses some acting talent, he should be denied. The filmmakers shouldnt have ignored him and replied with a no in the first place.

fudge no, they shouldnt give him a job! That would totally ruin the movie if htey have a part to every dumb ass that came along. I mean if he honestly wanted a part that bad he would have taken acting classes and speech classes to refine a brit accent and then gone to formal try outs or resort to being an extra.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-27 22:26:15
well, i thought that Rowling said that she wanted a purely british cast... so letting this guy on would go against what she wanted right?
i think that they shouldnt let him. i mean he as done a lot to get the job, but it wouldnt be fair to other potter fans
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-27 22:33:24
NO NO NO NO. I dont think he should get a spot even if the cast is pulling for him! That would be really really unfar for the rest of us! I would be really mad if he gets a part. After they said that only british can be in the moive or something like that.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-27 22:51:15
You guys just dont get it. Look at him! Theres no mistake that hes got talent. He would make a fantastic rock at the bottom of Hogwarts Lake considering his size.

Hahaha! Atsuko_Chan, your comment is hilarious! Made me laugh out loud! I mean... sure the comment was a little mean... but funny, too. I dont think they should give him a part. He isnt British. I think he has great persistance, though.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-27 23:06:28
Somehow I think thats a stupid but great idea. I would do it if I were him. Ever since I watched the first Harry Potter Movie, my heart pounded saying that I would want to be cast in the other Harry Potter movies. But Deathly Hallows is the final season of the Harry Potter saga... And Im still not forfilling my dream to be cast. I cannot do anything much as I live in Singapore.

Give him a part in the movie? No, I think he needs professional help, as well as a dietitian. Giving up a job and spending your life savings on a fantasy? He needs to grow up or stop being crazy, hes squandering his life.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-27 23:43:29
They SO shouldnt give him a role. More fans would follow and its not going to be pretty if they dont get roles too. This whole things just silly.

whoa, thats a lot of money---
if he gets a role, thats not fair for all of us. I mean, hes not the only biggest harry potter fan.
Im pretty sure we all want to be in the film---
Id say WB let all HArry potter fans from across the world to make their mark in the battle ending scene. Itll BE EPIC! LOL!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 00:01:39

Go home.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 00:12:47
Wow, um... thats just sorta weird. I mean I dont like to be mean so I sort of sympathize but its sorta dumb that he would actually think he could get a part. I think real harry potter fans would not want to ruin the movies and keep to actually good actors, not people begging for a place. I definitely dont think the studio will let him though. Thats not fair for anyone, not just because he wouldnt have to try out, but if hes not british and if he stinks at acting then the movie might stink... Potter fans really shouldnt do stupid things to turn other potter fans against them...

I personally think he is very ballsy to try this...I hope he does get a bit part even if it doesnt make the cut...If I had the money I would have been there many times over trying to meet the cast and/or have my daughter be in the movie...
AND in response to TBC07 Chris Columbus daughter was in it as Susan Bones remember and she isnt British at least not entirely...
GOOD LUCK BRENT!!!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 00:43:21
Seriously, that is going waaaay overboard. Obviously, if they ignored his letters, then they dont want to give him a role. Begging is not going to help him one bit. If he is willing to sacrifice so much, then he should hire himself and agent or go through and agency, that would be a much better use of his money.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 00:55:23
I dont think he should get it just because of the fairness factor and all british thing but some of the comments are a little harsh. Did chris have to get jos appoval to have his daughter be in the movies????????
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 01:05:06
"...now I just feel like I want to give something back. " Really?!?!? Looks to me like he just wants something for nothing. Points for persistence and all that but the guy needs to get a grip on reality.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 01:05:16
He definitely should not be in the movie. Jo said only British actors and he isnt British. (neither am I so I shouldnt be talking :) ) I hope they turn him down.... *tsk tsk*
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 01:15:02
Thats not just dedicated, thats creepy. So no, not at all. I didnt even like Columbus daughter having any sort of part in the film. In my eyes it was a bit of favoritism and wrong since Rowling has stated she wanted an all British cast, and it should remain that way (speaking part or not). He needs the cops called on him.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 02:04:28
If its a non speaking role, why not? I dont really see a problem with it... I doubt just because of him, hundreds of other HP fans will do the same extreme thing.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 02:08:46
Chris Columbuss daughter wasnt the only American in the films. Verne Troyer played Griphook in the first one.
I think this dude should get something for doing this, even if he only is an extra. I mean, yeah, I suppose it opens up the doors for more non-British people, but they could just say it would be a one time thing. He deserves it for just having the **** to do it and being the first to do it (to my knowledge anyway).
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 02:11:20
Hes not even british he should know j.k. rowling only wants british actors, if he got a part then i deserve one too and im "aussie"!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 03:07:55
WOW, can you say get a life? I mean, I love Harry Potter. Obviously since Im on a HP fan site, but that just borders on pathetic. Actually, no, its beyond pathetic. He is... whats Emersons word? Oh, right, delusional.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 03:50:58
No i dont think he should get a part in the movie because
1. hes not british and as we can see a british cast is very important to J.K.
2. just because hes standing outside the studios shouldnt get him a part in the movie
It would open a flood gate to a bunch of hopefuls, who would think they had to just stand out side to get a part.
Thats not fair to the people who worked and hoped really hard to get there parts. We dont know if he can even act!
Just send him home before he humiliates himself even more then he already has,

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 04:17:44
Ill be in the UK soon, and as such sent a letter to the casting office in Leavesden today (or to someone in the UK, anyway) asking if they have any need for background for the days Ill be there, so this is odd to discover after the fact.
Theres no single feeling that covers what this person is doing. Admiration fits, because this is a lot of time, boring time actually, and money being spent (although, if he didnt earn this money or if hell be reimbursed by his parents, that feeling is mostly deleted). But, fear also fits, and probably fits best because this is ridiculous. Youre not going to ingratiate or bully the producers by stalking Leavesden and thats what hes doing. Hes not going to get a roll. Thats a delusion that wont be filled. It wouldnt make any sense to fill a speaking roll based on this behavior in a student film.
Id actually be concerned about handling this person if I were both the folks working at Leavesden (all actors, directors, producers, etc) and websites such as Mugglenet. Its possible hes just a naive, good-hearted person, but its probable that theres something very off about him. This isnt how you get a role, this isnt how you even get background work. Even what I did (sending a letter) isnt how things work, but on this I think figuring "why not" is OK, since they can just recycle or file my resume and thats that. This guy has crossed a line. Hes not in a movie where persistence gets the girl, hes in real life where this kind of persistence is worrisome.
The best course of action, as heartless as it is, is probably to ignore this person (that includes mugglenet and all other Harry Potter sites), because any step in his direction will likely encourage and than others will do the same.

I think Ill join Brent to get my own role too!!!! Id so love to be a part of the Deathly Hallows! No, seriously, if he was given a role, there would probably be a huge wave of fans outside Leavesden studios the following days, trying to get a role as well ... But if they do give him role, I hope hed play an annoying character, like someone stalking Harry or something... but I doubt they will ...

whoah...what hes paying a week is practically equivalent of what i pay a MONTH in rent here in Oxford...lmao.
I believe he should NOT get a part since - as others have stated - it just isnt right that he should get it by harassing Leavesden.
Im also a Harry Potter fan that has wished to be in the films, but as its already in its final enstallment and Im quite busy with University...its not gonna happen. I mean, if acting was his true passion hes from CALI...he should have done something in LA or something and worked towards at least getting a walk-on role or as an extra through an agent or something like that. It is quite pitiful, especially for someone his age.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 05:50:57
I can understand his desire to be part of the cast but to go to this extend is beyond selfish. He is trying to force his hands for his own gain. As it is, he already attract the attention of the press, hoping to gain sympathy. No one should pay him attention and let him be. Sooner or later (hopefully sooner) he come to senses and go back where belong. He really needs to grow up.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 06:13:06
A billion people would do the same if he got in. I mean, points for trying but no. Get a life. If you want to be in a Harry Potter movie you should get in from talent and talent only. Thats why theres auditions.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 07:13:55
I live in Mexico, and there has been this show here which is somethin like Big Brother meets American Idol (Its for people who wanna become singers and live in a house where they cant get out while in the show), and in the second season, there was this ass who did the same thing this guys doing: stayed outside the house for days (I think it was about a month), and he kept begging, he even had his tent outside. So, they let it him in, aaand, he had no talent, he was tacky and gross (he popped his zits on the mirror which had a camera behind it), he kept fighting with the rest of the contestants, and no one liked him. Luckily he lasted about 3 weeks and was kicked out. So, NO definately NO, he may have talent, we may never know. If he thinks himself as an actor, then he should get an agent and start climbing his way up the way most of the actors do. Theres no part suitable for him, hes american, and harrassment is no reason for getting a part in a millions-of-dollars-gross ing-movie.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 07:16:23
I think that they should only let him in if they need an American role and he is a good enough actor to play the part. If they dont let him in, they could also offer him a role as a stunt double or a member of the crew because if he doesnt get in then he spent a HUGE amount of money for nothing.

Wow. That is totally ridiculous and he better not get a role. If he is in the movie for standing outside and begging than they better let everyone else who wants a part in the Deathly Hallows have a part. Ill be really angry if he gets a part because that is just, well, not fair(I dont care that I sound about seven years old by typing that its not fair).

Hell yeah give him a role!! This is hilarious. As long as the studio make it clear its not a precident for anyone to get in, they should let him have a walk on part. The guys got guts, you gotta admire him.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 08:46:36
I bet there are a lot of us who would love to have been in one of the Potter films or would love to be in the next one. I, however, find this story to be scary rather than intriguing. This individual is behaving more like a fanatic stalker than an admiring fan. His determination to be so involved with the production is more than bordering on obsessive and his behaviour is disturbing. I hope that the crew around Leavesden Studios is maintianing adequate security. Someone who behaves in this manner could graduate to trying to sabotage the filming or hurt one of the actors. The studio should definately NOT give the student a role. It would probably be wise to have him escorted off the property with an injunction to stay a set distance from the area.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 08:53:31
I think most of you are saying no because it is indeed you that would want that chance to be in the movie, not someone else, and not so easily. Also, enough of this "all biritish" cast..its bs, as it has not been purely british. I think what this young man did was creative and they have plenty of extra slots they could put him in. He could be sitting in the great hall eating, attending the wedding, walking in diagon alley, or even the MOM. I am sure this guy would even do it for free at this point. So my vote is an yes, give him a walk thru extra spot somewhere for his creative effort.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 08:57:55
Um, no. If this guy is really a fan he should know that JK Rowling specifically asked for an all British cast. This guy needs mental help, not a part in a film just because hes insane enough to spend all of his money on an impossibility. Its great if actors are fans of the books, but just being a fan does not qualify you to be in the films. Im sorry. It just doesnt.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 09:40:45
Why should he not get the role? Because it sends the wrong message to every Harry Potter fan and, in a way, endangers the integrity of the films. This young man should not be awarded a role in the films simply because he chose to spend his money and time basically for a publicity stunt.
We Harry Potter fans have always been known for our love for the series and enthusiasm, but accepting this young man into the films would jeopardize that image. I do not want the Harry Potter fandom to be marred in such a way.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 09:50:29
Sorry but theres obsession, and then theres going too far. And then theres this.
It is an absolute waste of your time to be hanging around for an audition when clearly the cast are all British, and if they wanted an american they would have held auditions already. If you have nothing better to do than spend mioney that could be put to better use in college, then you dont seem to have much prospects.
You should be grateful you have that kind of money in the first place, not obsessive enough to waste it all on a pointless mission. We all love Harry Potter, but it takes something a bit more disturbing than a love for the franshise to do this kind of thing.
And if you get in? A lot of people wil ltry and do the same. Its a very bad example to set and it makes Harry Potter fans out to be obsessed, sad and selfish people with nothing better to do in their lives.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 09:50:54
unless the kid is some amazing actor, id say no. as far as i know, there havent been any american actors in the harry potter movies yet so why start now? if standing outside is enough to give him a role, everyone else who has the money to do what he did are going to do exactly the same thing. there definitely arent enough parts in a movie for that many people
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 09:51:37
I dont think that he should get the part because more people would just try to come and do the same!!!!!!!!!! So he should go home. Plus, he is american which would sort of ruin the whole british part of the film.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 09:56:14
Being irrational, childish, and downright stupid does not make you the biggest Harry Potter fan, nor does it place you higher than anyone else. Though somewhat amusing, this piece of triviality is not newsworthy, for it only helps to perpetuate this boys self-absorbed dreams.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 10:01:36
I dont think they should give him a part out of fairness to the other million fans who would also like a part. Not to mention the fact that theyve already ignored his letters, so why would they give him a part now? Just because he showed up? No, just...no.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 10:05:01
no! it wouldnt be fair! if they give him a part just by showing up for a few days, then theyd have to give EVERY person (that did the same) a part!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 10:05:09
Now that is dedication (or desparation...sometimes its difficult to tell which)! Let the guy into the film, give him a non-speaking role, and swear him to secrecy. If he lets on that he got a role before they are finished filming, then he loses the role and has to pay a large sum of money. Simple solution!

wow that is a heck of a lot of money. i think he should get in by audition not by standing there, if hes not a good actor than he shouldnt be in the movie but if he auditions then there is a good reason for him 2 be in it! but anyway if he wants to stand out there for a while and spend a ton of money then good luck to him and go for it!

I have given up any hope for Brent to get his shot. If he wishes he might find better luck by breaking into the Canadian film industry landscape by relocating to British Columbia.

as much as i admire him, i dont think they should give him a role. if i had the money, and i wasnt in the middle of college, i would go join him, but i have responsibilities to attend to. hes not british, so he cant be in the films. dont change the rules just because some guy has thousands to blow on sitting around hoping for a big break.

Thats a big NO from me. This guy wasnt thinking about what will happen if he doesnt get to be an extra. Good luck finding another job in the US, buddy, with our economy.

I think youre all being a bit harsh. I personally think its hilarious. And come on, so many of us would go to that extreme to be in the movie, but hes the only one brave or maybe stupid enough to do it. We all know he is most likely not going to get a part, but its something hell get to tell his family about for forever.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 11:11:05
No, actually. Im glad the producers arent letting him. I mean, you know how many people want to be in these movies? Protesting and picket signs do nothing, in my opinion.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 11:11:48
Absolutley positivley NO! Its just crazy! He should have realized that when they didnt respond to his letters that it was a no. Its just crazy to think that he can get a role just by sitting out there. This is nuts!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 11:28:33
all i can say is "What an idiot!" (in a very fake birtish accent of course) but doe she seriously think that he can get in the movie just because he is doing a one man sit in??? the people that are in the movies derserve their spot and earned it! he shouldnt be allowed to be in the movie at all just because he is annoying! They need to keep the all britsh cast, so not americans allowed. if he was a true fan he would know this and not be trying at all. and simce he gave up his job and is wasting all of his money, i bet he wouldnt be able to to see the 6th movie in theatres a million times like we all do. that would completely suck if he couldnt, but he is being a stupid idiot!!! i hope the cops get called on him or something equally as bad or worse!

I doubt they would make this guy Xenophilius Lovegood guys, I dont see the big deal of having him stand in the background at like the wedding scene. I say make him sweat it out and let him stand in the background on the final day of shooting. Hes got *checks watch* about 51 more weeks to go lmfao. Plus if it was the last day of shooting a billion people couldnt do what he did because the HP series is over lol.
If he wants an actual speaking role though, **** that. Hit the road jack, theres way too many talented actors out there to give it to some random dude sitting outside the studios everyday.
To the person who said that we shouldnt give him a role because we wouldnt make a hobo who sits outside the White House president, thats a ridiculous analogy because a hobo isnt sitting there asking people to become president, hes sitting there because there are plenty of tourists to panhandle and hes got no place better to go.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 11:50:06
I think they should keep an all British cast. That guy probably cant even put on a decent accent. I feel sympathetic towards him, and I love the books a lot, but that was a bit stupid to turn down a job offer here and go all the way to the UK with no decent job prospects, especially in this economy. Then again, maybe when he comes back to California the employers here will see how dedicated he is and may offer him something...
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 11:58:07
Well, if he does get to be in the movie, its not gonna be a speaking part. If anything hell just be an extra at the wedding or the ministry or something.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 11:59:42
Im almost torn. As much as I love Harry Potter and would like a role...finding a job has been imposable for me and many others. And he just threw one away! I think letting him in would show that if fans harass Leavesden Studios they can get a role too. Then they would have fans outside all the time and it would be insane. For those reasons I would say it would be a mistake giving him a role. Now if he had a tour of the set, I think that would be nice and he should feel like all his time and money was not wasted BUT then again hordes of fans would think they could do it too. Im not sure what to decide but Ill be happy for him if he gets what he wants. That would be cool. I think its nice for Dan and Emma to wish him luck. But I dont understand his "The Harry Potter franchise has brought so much happiness to so many people now I just feel like I want to give something back." ....HOW? I dont understand.

So many people are feeling pity for him because he wants it so much he is going to these incredible lengths in the hope he gets a part. I dont. I dont have any sympathy for a man whos already got tons of money to splash out on ridiculous stunts like this. He has no idea how lucky he is not to have been dragged back home and beaten to death by his parents for spending all of that money. i dont have any sympathy because there comes a point where obsessive or determined is no longer the word. Insane is more accurate. Anyone with common sense or a reality check would know better than this. Worst still would be if he is doing it just to look good in front of his friends. Now i drew the line a long time ago, but if thats the case then im surprised he has friends because this stunt is just pathetic!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 12:59:12
I dont think he should get to be in the movie, because then others will just do the same thing. I think what hes doing is pathetic! I dont think shouldnt and WONT get any part...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 13:04:01
Im pretty sure the harry potter film makers have made a strict rule to only have resident UK actors to take a part in the movie. This rule of course has exceptions, for example, when they cast the roles of Fleur and Krum to people outside of the UK. Unless they need an American wizard, it is most likely they are not going to give him the role. And quite frankly (and this is a personal opinion, mind you) I would like this rule to kept. I like the fact that the movies are British-based. What about you?

Dont give him the role. Hes a total loser for wasting all that money and giving up a job back home to go and do such a childish thing. This guys a total dork - theres no other word for him.
Ok...well, there are, but dork seems quite precise.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 13:29:45
this is ridiclulous. he shouldnt get his way simply because he sits outside the studio.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 13:47:50
Allowing him would allow others to be accepted that way which Im sure is not what they want. But he sounds dedicated enough that he might deserve it. But he SHOULD only get cast as background characters who have no speaking roles. Thats as far as he would get.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 13:57:39
HE should definitely NOT get a part, that would send out a terrible message to everyone else, this is no way to go about getting a role in a film, god knows millions of people including me would love to be in the Harry Potter film, but what would happen if we all suddenly decided to camp outside the film studios it would be absolute mayhem!!!
If it works for him, guaranteed everyone else will try it, its just ridiculous, i say tell him to shove off and get back to reality and stop wasting his own and everyone elses time.

That is, by far, the stupidest thing a fan has ever done. Why would ANYONE want to be part of the Harry Potter movies because they BEGGED? Wouldnt you want to be included because of your skills? Second of all, why is he doing this when he knows he doesnt even have a chance? JK Rowling has SPECIFICALLY said, that NO American actors or actresses will be allowed into the movie. Unless the guy wants to be an extra(?), theres no way.

Ok, persistence is one thing, but to get a part because he spent a buttload of money, thats just riduculous. I tried to get a position through the proper channels to crew on the film as a makeup artist. I spent a $1000 on a trip to London, plus what it costs to call internationally and sent packages. By that logic, I should have a position, right? But I dont, even though I am talented. Im not blowing my own horn, but I do have talent. I still have a lot to learn, but... *sputters from the injustice*
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 16:02:23
People, dont be fooled by the smile on his face, hes acting like a spoiled child that doesnt get his way. You know the little kid that stamps their feet until their parents give them the candy bar at the grocery store. If you give him the candy bar, then he learns that being a brat gets you what you want. Plus all that money this guy is wasting on this could have been spent on, oh i dont know, an education...perhaps so he could become an actor and get a job through the normal interview process.

If theyre not crazy they wont give him a role. If they did they would have to give one to every Harry Potter fan in the world because everyone would do the same thing!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 16:19:28
He came a few years late. He should have auditioned for a role, but if he does somehow get an audition, than at least he has a chance. But this would send the wrong message to all fans: that everyone can audition for a role and get in. Wb doesnt want fans stalking them and forcing their way in a movie because everyone else will do it. I feel sad for him because theres no way that wb would accept him into the movie unless (iono) they feel pity or want to give him a chance. But Im sure they arent going to say no. The first two harry potter movies had an American Director so . . . I dont think the fact that he is from the US should hinder his chances. the outcome will be the same with any other fan from anywhere.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 17:02:49
I just have one thing to say: ALL BRITISH CAST! Its why JKR loved the movies so much. And it makes us aspiring actors (or me at least) a little angry that he thinks this could get him into a movie when in fact a part should be earned by talent and not by how long you can stand outside of a studio annoying the head hanchos. Come on guy, give it a break. We all would love to be in a Harry Potter movie...but we know better.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 17:07:40
He gets an "E" for effort, but he doesnt get a part. Thats a great idea for charity though, to auction off a part in a crowd scene.

Good for him for being so assertive, but it does create future issues if they do decide to give him a role - many others will try and do the same, causing even more stress for the workers.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 18:45:16
I dont think he should get a part , simply because I dont see why standing outside stalking fanatically warrants you a role , however small . Theres a small thing to do ... AUDITION !!! A girl in my school did that and she got a part , she AUDITIONED !!! I sound a bit like Moody here lol CONSTANT VIGILANCE . Btw , where was Kingsley from ?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 19:18:15
Thats just obnoxious and obsessive, and mildly creepy in a NuttyMadam kind of way. I dont think anyone with an entitlement complex like that deserves a role; if he wants a part so badly, he should audition when the opportunity arises. Im all for people seizing their own futures and whatnot, but thats just annoying.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 20:28:20
Brett cannot obtain the role of any character in the Harry Potter movies .. unless its a senseless role of an extra running around in the crowd scenes .. besides he should use his monies for something worth while - like college. I could guarantee that if he would have a college education going he would find bigger and better things to get involved in than wasting all his life savings, in todays economy, on something that wont ever happen. The Harry Potter casting crew people will not give him any attention .. because if they do they will be plagued by Harry Potter fans that have a lot of money to give.. they dont want that kind of attention, all they want to do is have the movies filmed for release on time. They dont want fans clogging up Leavesden studios. Harry Potter cast has been all European actors and actresses and its something that they, and die hard fans, are proud of, I know I am. No doode from California can ruin that mystique .. He might as well stop trying. They WONT give in.

Wow, I thought I was a big Harry Potter fan....I think that that is very foolhardy and I am one of those that if I ever went to Kings Cross Station I would run into walls to try to get on to Platform 9 3/4! I dont think they sould give a role, but I really feel bad for him. Wow, maybe they could compromise somehow.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 20:36:33
ok, or put him in one of the muggle-blowing-up scenes and cast him as a horribly disfigured corpse...(THAT shouldnt be hard) :p
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 20:37:22
Hes delusional, but I feel a tiny bit sorry for him but on the other hand he really needs to wake up into reality. Of course most every fan would dream of being in a harry potter film but they wouldnt be that crazy...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 21:34:23
If it werent for the fact that it were so publicized, Id let him have a small walk-on role. But since everyone knows about this now, letting him have a role would open it up to others, so no way. They should give him information on casting calls or whatever and point him away.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 22:26:07
Honestly I dont think they should give him a part because it will just encourage other people to do the same. There are plenty of people who would follow in his footsteps if they thought they would get a part too, and that would just be mayhem. He should just go back to school, and see the movies.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 23:00:24
Can he act, and could they have a part for him, even a tiny one? Then let him have a part. Anyone who spends that much time and $$ trying obviously really wants a part and should be given a chance.
And the part about him being from the US? People who arent from here act in movies and use an accent they werent born with all the time. Can he do a british accent? Then more points to him.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-02-28 23:14:53
well... madam hooch and Flitwick are both portrayed by Americans (although the actress who plays hooch became an actress on the British scene. and yes, there was Chris Columbuss daughter. but it really should stay at that.
my view on the matter: even if the guys even a half decent actor (which, sorry, I highly doubt) he shouldnt be cast, because it was Jos wish that they all be British/from UK. Im a huge fan, but that doesnt mean that I should have a part, or even dream of having the opportunity to even wish for a chance to audition for one.
Hes pretty much thrown plenty of money and a good (new) job for an opportunity to try to obtain something that will never happen. EVER.
sorry kid. (that makes me sound especially condescending, as Im about the same age as he)

If he really wanted a part he should have at least been a little more professional about it by sending in an acting resume and headshots...but thats a little to extreme what this guy is doing and i really dont think begging and whining in front of the studio is gonna land him a role in harry potter...its like going up to a manager or some head of some company and just being a total stalker and creep...i would soo not hire this guy. he sounds like a helpless, vapid, incompetent ass kisser and no one likes those people....i think they should send him home!!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-01 01:32:54
Hehehe. I think its amazing. I also love how people are saying that they would do it if this and if that and if it works. Well thats just the thing isnt it? He IS doing it. Maybe hes a little- okay a LOT -over the top. At least hes doing something and not sitting here talking about it on a fan site that we happen to check still how long after the seventh book?... hehe. I mean if youre reading this you cant denie being at least a tad extreme as a fan... *shrugs* as to whether he gets the part? its whatever. its still amazing :DD
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-01 02:12:39
If persistence was the only thing a person needed to get a part, acting wouldnt be such a risky gig to pursue--but thats not the case in real life. Besides, casting directors look for specific looks, abilities, and so on; standing outside of a studio wont change anything if you dont fit the profile.

theres no way they will give him a part.
for one he is american and correct me if im wrong but i dont remember comming accross one in the books.
if they give him a part (which i highly doubt) itll be something in the background where he dosnt say anything and his face is slightly out of focus.... i hope lol
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-01 05:39:03
Uhm, no. First of all, hes not from the UK. I didnt know Chris Columbus his daughter was not British, but I really liked her for Susan Bones. She didnt have to say much anyway, did she? I suppose it doesnt matter so much if you have a role where you dont have to say anything.. Another reason why they cant accept him is that they would soon have lots of HP fans on their doors waiting to get a role in the movie too. I think its pretty cooll he met some of the cast, but on the other hand I think it really isnt so smart to waste so much money on this.. He could have bought tickets to the premiere of HBP and lots of merchandise and stuff instead! (or just kept the money and save it for non-HP things :P)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-01 10:49:33
I am obsessed with Harry Potter, and I feel completely justified saying this: he needs to get a life!! He is specifically going against the wishes of Jo and the filmmakers, who want to keep the films all British. He should NOT be given a role in the movie, because that is not how the world works. You dont stand around annoying people and complaining to the press to get what you want. There are tons of other HP fans who would give anything to be in the movies, but you dont see us out there. This guy seriously needs to wake up and stop wasting his life for a futile cause. He should be using his energy for more worthy things. Seriously.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-01 10:52:11
Sorry, but his wasting his money was HIS choice and doesnt entitle him to anything.
If he feels using up his life savings and giving up his employment (when so many Americans are LOSING their jobs and struggling...) is worth this trip and strange camp-out, then who are we to say he shouldnt? Its his life and money.
HOWEVER...
I DO feel very sorry for his parents or whoever hes going to end up mooching off of when this all goes sour and he ends up with no money and no job and has to return home without having achieved his goal. Thats a really selfish way to behave. Now someone else is going to have to pay to support him while he tries to find new employment at a time when thats not so easy anymore. Foolish and selfish, really.

That fat-ass idiot, if he is too stupid to relize that they dont want him, then he needs to take some sleeping pills and down a bottle of scotch. There is NO roll in HP7 which could use... that thing; beside the group of death eaters at the begining, but he seems like the jittery, hyperactive, menatlly challenged dimwit who need to be eraticated off this planet! Seriously, even if he somehow did get into the film, it would pay less than all of the money he has put out for the role.

I personally think they should give him an AUDITION... not a role... because simply he does have the **** to do all this. Now, I think that if he gets an audition, and another fan does this, they should not give THAT fan an audition too... because then theyre just following this first guy. Know what I mean? But I think at the very least he should get an audition... if hes a crap actor, then he doesnt get a role... but if hes good... then why not get a role? no matter how small it is?

Mate, read the newest board, he does not a role, he wants just to be a janitor or somthing like that.

I think all of you who are ripping on him still should read more recent news posts.
This whole story was made up by the media, the guy is innocent - he didnt go all the way to Leavesden to beg for a role.
And to think that youd be a little wary on what the media puts out there from reading what Rita Skeeter has done.
Shame on you.

Im a professional actor, so Id like to think I have some idea about this-- terrible terrible idea, sir. Youre harassing them, making them dislike you, making them less likely to want to work with you. Send a headshot and resume, not PLEADING letters. Walk ins are a nono.

I ADMIRE HIS GUMPTION HOWEVER IF THEY GAVE HIM A ROLE IT WOULD ONLY BE FAIR TO GIVE EVERY FAN WILLING AND ABLE TO THE SAME THING A PART ALSO !!!!!!!!!!! (AND I WOULD BE FIRST IN LINE !!)

If this guy is willing to spend his entire savings on this idea, he cant be very smart... I really hope they dont give him a spot in the movie. It would ruin it for me to see his glib face in my HP movie.

This guy is ridiculous, I mean, come on, get a life! I like HP too but not to this extent.
What I would do if I were WB depends on how much of a nuisance having this guy around is. If they dont really mind having him sit in front of the studios for days on end, then they wont do anything. If he becomes enough of an annoyance perhaps theyll do something, but thats really quite an oustide chance.

He most likely doesnt have an agent representing him. More to the point, he most likely cant act to save his life. This is sad and pathetic. The studios need to call the local police and have him arrested for harassment and he needs to spend a few nights in jail, be humiliated, and sent back home. He needs to get a job, move from his Moms place, and get a grip.

When are you lot going to bloody well understand that he is not after a stinkin role?!??!?!?!

Why should one crazed fan be given the chance to do something we would all love to do? Granted, I give him props for trying, but really? There is a reason why they didnt return his messages in the first place; they have personal standards for the movie and there comes a time when people need to realize this and step back. Again though, props for effort. Why should they take someone with no experience in movies and with no need for American actor take him on? It doesnt fit their needs.

ALL OF YOU STILL POSTING ABOUT HOW MUCH OF A LOSER THIS GUY IS ARE PATHETIC. HE IS NOT IN LEAVESDEN FOR A FREAKING ROLE. READ MORE RECENT NEWS POSTS, PLEASE.

Im from Brents hometown and spoke with him today. I work for the local paper here in San Clemente, California. Here is the version of the story that I received from Brent. Hes about to conclude his quest.

This seems rather obsessive.... I dont think he should be let into the movie, though perhaps an institute for the insane?

Its fans like you, Brent Klovstad, that make the rest of us look like crazy people. I hope that you never get a role and also issue a public statement apologizing to us. You wont, and that actually is a little bit ridiculous to ask for, but it felt good to say, so w/e!
