Alan Cummingapparently spelled (get it?)

“I told them to f— off!”
The actor explained that a salary dispute with thePotterproducers was what prompted his curt response.
Blatantly lying, stupidly lying, as well.
Like, if you’re going to lie, be clever about it.
“I said, tell them to f— right off,” he continued.
“And thought, well Rupert’s going to get the part.
They made him screen test, and I remember he brought his own wig.
And then they f—ing gave it toKenneth Branagh, came out of the shadows.”
(He reportedlydeclined due to scheduling conflicts.)
He also recently voiced a character in HBO Max’s controversial animated royal family spoof,The Prince.
