I was kind of hoping they'd cast Jamie Harding, but I can totally see this guy as Pan.

Hmmmm… I'm not sure. I always imagined Pan's voice as being really soft and young. Not necessarily a high voice – just young.
And I'm hoping against hope that Pan doesn't have an American accent! :wassat:
But you never know. He could turn out to be the best-cast part in the film!

Watched Chocolate Factory last night and I approve. He has a very Pan-like voice in my opinion.

He doesn't have an American accent!! He's British for heaven's sake! He put an American accent on for the part in Charlie! When will people realize that actors do ACCENTS! Duh! I think he's a great choice for pantalaimon and hurray for big ears!!! I think he's cute!

Maybe it's because Northern Lights is my favourite book, but nothing about this movie seems… right.
I don't think this guy sounds right for Pan (At least not from the clips given or from Charlie and Chocolate Factory)
I hate that they're going for the American book title too. It's an English book, so they should use the English title. Also, the guy doing Lord Asriel looks wierd.

His voice sounds a little old for the part. I liked the Pantalaimon voice in the BBC radio adaption. The accent's right in the Love Actually clips, thoigh.
