Candid Chat with Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley) No Autograph

There are lots of Harry Potter fans on this website it seems, so I thought some people might be interested in hearing this story from a few days ago.
I work at one of Britain's most historic buildings, and film crews regularly film here.
ITV were here the other day filming a new series, 'Britains 10 Most Historic Houses' or something like that.
The day began when I pulled up in the carpark next to the ITV van, I got out of my car and asked a man who was facing the other way, 'Will there be any talent here today?'.
That's when Mark turned around and faced me revealing himself. He jokingly replied, 'There's no talent here today lad, just me'.
Later on I was having a coffee in the break-room when Mark walked in and also made himself one.
I asked him where he was shooting next in the series, he replied 'I have no idea, I'm just a voice for hire... they call me up and tell me where to be and when, and I read what they tell me'.
Which was pretty honest of him.
So if you ever watch these documentaries where celebs visit places and seem really interested and/or well educated about the place... it's probably all bullshit.
I then asked him what he thinks about being, 'Mr Weasley' for the rest of his life. He said, 'There's still time for me to become someone else'.
I then asked a photo and he happily agreed...
