I used to manage actors for a short spell. Rupert Grint was truly one of the best talents on that set. A gem. The camera loved him. He's unique, not typical. He would have been on my short list of talent to submit constantly. And that is saying a lot when surrounded by other amazing actors who were already established. No one can imagine anyone else in any of the roles (they were all wonderful), but for me, it was what Rupert did with his character that really stood out for me. He had a natural ability to make people laugh AND to care. That is invaluable. Would love to see a continuation of the characters, but not sure if that's even possible. Never say never, though.
