This seems like terrible casting but I guess I’ll have to see how he is in the show.

He doesn’t look creepy enough to be snape and he is black. I know its hard to fill Alan Rickman’s shoes but casting the polar opposite doesn’t tend to go over very well with audiences. Should have cast a skinny weird looking Russian guy.

Not exactly how I imagined the “greasy-haired, sallow-skinned, hook-nosed” potions master.
