Lee Ingleby
, who will be acting alongside Russell Crowe in his latest movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, will also be appearing as Knight Bus conductor Stan Shunpike in next year's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
at the premiere for Master and Commander, and this is what he had to say about Prisoner of Azkaban:
"I play a guy called Stan Shunpike who’s the bus conductor. Harry’s lost, stumbles across a big triple decker purple bus that takes him to where he wants to go and my character teaches him- - well, not right and wrong, but helps him along his way."
Of course, this involves a lot of special effects. "Yeah, tons. It’s all blue screen. It’s a bus that travels through London during Rush Hour 100 miles an hour, so it’s a lot of blue screen work."

Meh. He looks okay as Stan Shunpike I suppose. I guess I just pictured Stan as a bit younger and zittier (is that a word??) sort of like that guy who's always on the Simpsons working in dept. stores and stuff. With the cracking voice.

I'm sure he'll be great for the part. I love the movie "ever after" and he was really good in that part . . and that was 5 years ago. I bet he'll be even better by now.

Camille, thank you for the photo. I'm really looking forward to see PoA. And I still hope that they won't cut off too many scenes.

More and more I am waiting with baited breath for PoA to premier. All of these pictures, interviews, articles and, of course, the trailer are making me impatient! I want to see the whole movie - not just snipettes!

I've never heard of Lee or either of the movies he was in until a couple minutes ago, so this news story did me good! June is approaching... very slowly...

I like it when the actors, actresses, other people associated with Prisoner of Azkaban talk about the movie, their characters, the special effects, and what to expect. Lee Ingleby seems to be the right person to portray Stan Shunpike.

Hmm, I thought the actor looked familiar when I saw him in Master and Commander a few days ago. Now I know why! He did a very good job in M&C - I think we will be seeing more of this actor. And he definitely looks like Stan!

I wonder if he will have pimples like the one in the book. That seen will be hilarious, with the hotcocoa, the beds, and the sick passengers, almost forgot the most important part (100 miles an hour) haha they put it in the american standards.

[b]Camille[b]- thanks for the picture! I would like to see Master and Commander, even though I've never heard of it before now. I think I'll go and try and find the trailer. I can't wait to see Prisoner of Azkaban and see some of the new characters. I can't wait to see the Knight Bus scene.

Oh! I can't wait to see Stan. I've seen Master and Commander but I'm not sure who he played in that movie. I was to busy looking for Billy Boyd in every shot!
