Felton keen for comedy projects

Harry Potter star Tom Felton has said that he is keen to pursue comedy projects in the future.

The actor, who plays villain Draco Malfoy in the wizard franchise, claimed that he will be picking his future films carefully to avoid being typecast.

He told Digital Spy: "I don't want to toot one's horn so to speak, but I think I have the adequate timing and so forth to do comedic roles.

"Something along those lines would definitely interest me... As much as I'd love to play another villain, I do want to show different aspects to me in future roles."

Felton continued: "You do have to be ever so careful about what you are taking on, but I'm not going to turn my nose up at anything and if something excites me, I'll do it willingly."

Speaking about his part in the upcoming Potter films, he added: “Before, Malfoy was always two-dimensional. It's never gone into depth about why he is like he is.

"The latter books divulge into the depths of his childhood and his relationship with his father. A lot of questions and answered in the upcoming films and it makes playing him a lot more fun. He has much more varied emotions now rather than being a one-trick pony."
