The Harry Potter show is happening whether people want it to or not and part of the upsetting aspect of it is seeing who is willing to work with J.K. Rowling. And one rumored choice for Voldemort had me begging him to say “no.”
One such actor was Matt Smith. The actor, who became a household name as the Doctor in Doctor Who, was thrown into the ring for Lord Voldemort aka Tom Riddle aka J.K. Rowling’s other pen name. And if I am being honest, I was very worried that Smith would entertain the idea. Not that I thought he’d side with Rowling and her harmful views given his past support of the trans community. It is a big franchise to take on and many actors would love to try to play the villain.
