That Dude who played Bottom is...

...Kevin Kline, and he is great. He's one of the few American actors I could accept in an HP role (although I don't have any character in particular in mind). I love him as the Pirate King in "Pirates of Penzance," he's a hoot. I'll tell you who else I love in "Midsummer" is Roger Rees, who plays Peter Quince, the leader of the players (who sits in the wings and prompts them throughout their performance). He was the lead in the Royal Shakespeare Company's amazing stage version of Nicholas Nickleby, and if he were still that age, instead of as old and weathered as he is in "Midsummer," I'd be lobbying for him as Sirius.
