Continuing my policy of only reporting stuff after it’s already public knowledge, I guess I’m now allowed to say that the role of Grandpa Joe in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will be played by David Kelly.
(No, not the guy who writes “The Practice.” It’s the guy who was in Waking Ned Devine.)
I haven’t met him yet, but I will next week when we have the cast reading in London. I’ll be over there for two weeks, so expect fewer updates until after production begins on June 21.
