You can understand why you would cast Ian McKellen for anything. But letting go of Nonso was one of the most painful experiences on this movie for me. I need to say about Nonso that he is one of the most promising and soulful young actors I have encountered in England and I've worked here for quite a bit now and he's actually in the next Mike Leigh () ... But it was, uh, that was kind of a dark day for me. I kinda wanna go out of my way to point out how much I love Nonso's work. And that's that."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kristin Scott Thomas in Golden Compass )〕 Anozie played small roles as Think Tank in Guy Ritchie's film ''RocknRolla'' and Frank Mace in Joe Wright's ''Atonement''.
