Interview With Regulus Black Actor

The other day we reported on some new casting for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Among the new cast members was Tom Moorcroft who was cast as Regulus Black. A new interview with the actor has surface online, in which the actor confirms his role in the sixth Potter film.

In the interview, the actor revealed that he only appears in the film as a photograph in Slughorn's office (since we don't technically see Regulus in the book); he participated in a photoshoot that only last 2-3 hours at Leavesden. Moorcroft also revealed that he hasn't been cast for Deathly Hallows, but would love to come back for continuity reasons.

What other actors were present during this scene? Like Susie Shinner (young Lilly Evans) or Daniel Radcliffe.
Only Jim Broadbent.

Can you describe the details of the scenario and the clothing on the scene?
Unfortunately no real details can be disclosed at this time, as the production team said. No photographs were allowed to be taken for the case if they got leaked to the public, I suppose.

...

Do you have any information about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, where your character has a big role during the books?
No information, yet. I gather that right now they’re concentrating on the Half Blood Prince. It would make sense to use the same actor again to save confusion, but I personally have no idea. I would like to get called back though.

UPDATE: Another new interview with Mr. Moorcroft is now online. Maponto from Spanish fan site BlogHogwarts let us know that they have an exclusive interview with the actor along with a larger photo of the picture featured on the actor's casting page. While the interview is mostly the same, you can read the full translation below:

Had you read any of the Harry Potter books before you obtained the role?

Yes I've read the 2nd, 3rd and 4th ones, I haven't had the chance to read all of them yet!

Have you already shot scenes of Half-Blood Prince?

I shot my scenes two weeks ago, just before Easter at Leavesden Studios.

In which scenes are you present?
I'm in a very short scene which will be in Professor Slughorn's office.


What other Harry Potter actors or actresses did you perform with?
Jim Broadbent, who will be playing Professor Horace Slughorn.

How do you feel about being in a Harry Potter film?
It's certainly an experience I must say. I would definitely not to have to think, if I was asked to be in the Deathly Hallows. It would be a very firm yes.

Have you met other actors or actresses on Harry Potter Set?
The only actor I met was Jim Broadbent as he was the only main actor involved in my scene.
