If Jude Law doesn't play young Albus Dumbledore, I quit | Why we need two actors, Why it should be Jude Law, Other characters who deserve multiple actors, More!

In this episode, we talk about why Jude Law should play young Dumbledore in the new TV show. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

·      Listen to episode 298 called “Warwick Davis is returning as Flitwick? Who else should reprise their role?” here!

·      2:14 Why two actors? Well, Dumbledore has a complex past. He feels like he was a different person back in his Grindelwald days, and a different person warrants a different actor. Choosing another actor to play a younger version of himself would show us that he is truly a three-dimensional character.

·      13:27 Why Jude Law? In Fantastic Beasts, he was fantastic. When interacting with Creedence we saw that Creedence’s pain was his own, and that Dumbledore truly regrets the difficult like that Creedence had. He also showed Jacob a huge amount of respect for diving into battle with no way of protecting himself.

·      21:13 What if there was only one actor? If Jonathan Lithgow was the only actor, we would lose the perspective of Dumbledore’s past. He would become a one-sided character, and we can’t have that.

·      25:24 Who else should have multiple actors? Dumbledore was one of the only flashback characters that didn’t have multiple actors. Voldemort had something like four actors. I think Aberforth deserves multiple actors, as well as McGonagall they play important behind the scenes roles that should be explored.
