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](http://imdb.com/title/tt0367594/) will be played by [David Kelly](http://imdb.com/name/nm0446303/).
(No, not the [guy who writes “The Practice.”](http://imdb.com/name/nm0005082/) It’s the guy who was in [Waking Ned Devine](http://imdb.com/title/tt0166396/).)
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.
