Goblet of Fire: who would you cast?

OK, so according to this thread, Rowan Atkinson will not be playing Voldemort in the film adaptation of the Goblet of Fire, which I personally think is a shame. I would never have considered him before I heard the rumors, but I would have loved to see him do it. That said, I have no idea who else could play Voldemort.

What I’m interested in more, however, is the casting of Mad-Eye Moody. This is mainly because I’ve already cast the part in my mind, and I really can’t see it going to anyone else.

Are you sitting down?
Christopher Lloyd. Seriously. C’mon, Moody is a man with a withered, contorted face, a raving lunatic (or so it seems) and ultimately a really dark character. If Lloyd plays it as a cross between Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and his Ignatowski character from Taxi, he’ll be perfect. I read the book and I just had visions of him all the time.

Only problem is, he’s not British, so Rowling won’t allow it. A crying shame, because Lloyd’s career has been going downhill for the last ten years or so, and I’d love to see him in an A-list film again.

But that’s just my choice. Who would you pick?

In my imagination, Mad-Eye looks like a skinnier version of character actor Jack Elam. But he couldn’t be in the movie because he is too old, too American and too dead.

Christopher Lloyd would do, though, now that you mention it.
