It means that my career continues to have meaning for the next couple of generations. I\u2019m always grateful when asked to play academics having not been further educated myself.

Being a part of this is very much full circle for me, considering I was the Harry stunt double inside the Knight Bus as it was whizzing through the streets of London on the Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban movie. I hope everybody enjoys my performance and both old or new audiences will connect with these magical stories.
