Radcliffe’s role would already be a surprising departure for the actor best known for playing the Boy Who Lived, but doubly so considering that the franchise’s long-awaited sequel is also out now.

Towards the end of Radcliffe’s interview with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday, the host asked if he had seen Harry Potter and the Cursed Child yet (the play is currently in previews at London’s Palace Theatre). “I want to see the show, I am genuinely intrigued and I hear it’s fantastic,” Radcliffe said. “I just feel like sitting in an audience that will, for the most part of the near future, be very enthusiastic Harry Potter fans might not be a … relaxing way to see a show. So, I guess, not for the time being.” Colbert asked if there was any danger of Radcliffe getting annoyed at a different interpretation of Harry, but Radcliffe expressed only admiration for actor Jamie Parker , who plays an adult Harry in the play.

A couple of years later, he landed a role as Mark Pendel in The Tailor of Panama (2001), the son of Harry and Louisa Pendel ( Geoffrey Rush and Jamie Lee Curtis ). Curtis had indeed pointed out to Daniel's mother that he could be Harry Potter himself.

Soon afterwards, Daniel was cast as Harry Potter by director, Chris Columbus in the film that hit theaters in November 16, 2001, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001).

Other cast members included John Larroquette, Rose Hemingway and Mary Faber. Both the actor and production received good reviews, with USA Today commenting: "Radcliffe ultimately succeeds not by overshadowing his fellow cast members, but by working in conscientious harmony with them - and having a blast in the process." Radcliffe's performance in the show earned him Drama Desk Award, Drama League Award and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations.

The production itself later received nine Tony Award nominations. Radcliffe left the show on 1 January 2012. His first post-Harry Potter project was the 2012 horror film The Woman in Black, adapted from the 1983 novel by Susan Hill. The film was released on 3 February 2012 in the United States and Canada, and was released on 10 February in the UK. Radcliffe portrays a man sent to deal with the legal matters of a mysterious woman who has just died, and soon after he begins to experience strange events from the ghost of a woman dressed in black.

David Heyman , the producer for the Harry Potter films happened to be at a play that both Dan and Dan's father, Alan Radcliffe , were at. After Heyman spotted Radcliffe, since both men knew each other, he was introduced to his son and when Heyman saw Daniel he thought he looked perfect for the part. In fact, that night at the play, Heyman couldn't help just staring at Dan because he thought he was perfect to play Harry.

(The winning presentation was the Lion King's). Dan wrote and sang the song. The Guardian (UK) reported that Radcliffe has published some poetry under the pen name Jacob Gershon. Jacob is his middle name, and Gershon is the original Yiddish name from which his mother's maiden name, Gresham, was derived. The Trevor Project announced that Daniel Radcliffe had made a "major" donation to them and joined their "Circle of Hope", a group of their high-donating supporters. The Trevor Project operates a national (US) crisis and suicide prevention helpline for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth (who are four times more likely to attempt suicide than heterosexual children and teens).

He plays the son of Adrian Rawlins in the Harry Potter films. The Woman in Black (2012) is a remake of an earlier film ( The Woman in Black (1989)), in which Radcliffe takes over the role originally played by Rawlins. When he was first cast as Harry Potter, the filmmakers tried using contact lenses to make his eyes appear green; as they are described in the books; rather than their natural blue.

Daniel suffered a painful allergic reaction when he tried them on, so the idea was scrapped. The filmmakers then considered digitally altering his eyes in post-production, but knew this would be a tedious process. The filmmakers then approached J.K. Rowling with their problem, and she thankfully told them that it was not essential for Harry to have green eyes, merely that he have his mother's eyes, much to the relief of all involved. Became the youngest non-royal to have an individual portrait displayed in London's prestigious National Portrait Gallery. Radcliffe was only 14-years-old, when he posed for artist Stuart Pearson Wright during a break from filming Harry Potter. Godfather of Misha Handley , who played his son in The Woman in Black (2012). Ranked #5 on the VH1 list of 100 Greatest Kid Stars (2012). Was in a relationship with Rosie Coker from 2010 until November 2012. Has frequently been mistaken for Elijah Wood (and vice versa). Once in Japan, a huge fan handed Radcliffe a photo of Elijah Wood to sign. He wrote, "I am not Elijah Wood, love, Daniel Radcliffe".

Daniel's father is of Northern Irish Protestant descent, and was the son of Elsie May and Teddy Radcliffe. Daniel's mother was born in South Africa, to a Jewish family (they moved from Lithuania, Germany and Poland, to South Africa and England). Daniel's maternal grandparents were Wilfred Jacobson (born in South Africa) and Muriel Jean Patricia Gresham (who was born in Rochford, Essex, England; she was born under the surname "Gershon", later Anglicized by her family to "Gresham"). While he is not religious, Daniel has described himself as Jewish. Received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on November 12, 2015. When Chris Columbus was asked what type of child he wanted to play Harry Potter, he used a clip of Daniel Radcliffe from David Copperfield (1999) to show them what he wanted. Revealed that he started to develop an alcohol problem during shooting Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009). He got sober in 2013. Long-time friends with British writer-actor Stephen Fry .

Chris Columbus was amazed how beautifully Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint matured over the Harry Potter series, compared to some child actors who start out adorable and then either lose that or become bad actors as they grow older. Casting an actor to play Harry Potter was a big challenge; they saw 5000 auditions and none of them felt right. Director Chris Columbus saw Radcliffe in David Copperfield (1999) and showed it to the film's casting director and said Radcliffe was the one and that he was amazing. But she said they wouldn't get him because his parents want him to focus on his schoolwork and not acting, as well as all the attention he'd get. So they interviewed Harry Potter's of different nationalities all over the world and still hadn't found him. She got frustrated with Columbus because he had his heart set on Radcliffe. By sheer coincidence, the producer and screenwriter of the Philosopher's Stone went the theatre and in the front row was Radcliffe with his father, so they talked and slowly persuaded him to cast Radcliffe. Dan to his friends. Close friends with David Holmes who was his stunt double for the first six Harry Potter films.

Personal Quotes (48) After being cast as Harry Potter: I think I'm a tiny bit like Harry 'cos I'd like to have an owl. Yeah, that's the tiny bit, actually. I don't know. People tell me I look mournful. They say, "Cheer up, Dan, it's not that bad!" Sometimes, I just look into space, which freaks people out. If I was ever required to do anything other than look haunted, I could. I'm a happy person. Though I don't, like, dot my "I's" with hearts or anything - that would be too happy. I'm not much of a cake person. But I don't think it's going to happen. I don't think I'll do all of them - I'll probably get too spotty or too tall or I'll shrink or something. [on believing in magic] Absolutely. 100 percent. I was in the bath at the time, and my dad came running in and said, "Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?" and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment of my life. I'm not clumsy, I'm just accident prone.

Upon seeing the movie: I'm a bit nervous about whether people will like it, but I've seen it, and I'm sure they will. It's really good - it's quite scary, it's quite emotional. Even I cried and I don't cry easily! I cried at the end credits when my name came up, and I was, like "Oh my God! I can't believe that's my name!" I've met so many people since we started filming and it's been wonderful. I've progressed so far and changed so much since the beginning. It's been like a real journey. On considering himself as a heartthrob: Personally, I can't see it, but if other people can, fine. Cool! I would consider doing any part as long as the script is good and the film has an interesting director. [on the bats on the set] I like them, but it's hard to concentrate when the bats fly about, and they pee while they fly. I've never been one of the cool people at school, but then again, I don't get the people who are cool. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that they don't interest me. Too many little numbers on one page!

- about math. Stage is much more intimidating than going before the cameras, because you can really screw up, and can't do a retake. When I go back to school everyone asks a lot of questions. Then, after about a week, when I've answered everything, we get back to normal. It's too far down the road to decide about a fifth movie. I'm still the same age Harry is, and I haven't actually grown that much. Fans are really important for me. And if they take pains to write me, it's the minimum that I answer myself. I think I'm highly normal. I'm attending school after acting, I'm going out with friends, going to the cinema - I'm just doing everything a normal teenager does. People think I can't leave the house without being in a crowd of fans - but that's not true. I'm able to do more things than people might think. I'm thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments. When I get into trouble at school I'd like to take an invisibility cloak, drape it over me and sneak out the door.

Or I'd like to have a 3-headed-dog because then no one would argue with me. I played a trick on the make-up department where I put a fake blood capsule in my mouth, pretended to trip on the stairs and let the blood come out of my mouth. They really fell for it, then they chased after me with a water pistol. Everyone on the set has a mobile phone, and I found by pushing a few buttons, they could be programmed into different languages. I fixed Robbie's (Coltrane) to speak in Turkish. I don't understand girls, but I'm slowly learning. [on saying that he'll do all of the Harry Potter movies] Ultimately, it comes down to whether we're still enjoying it. If we are then I think we would be sort of stupid not to do them. As long as I'm doing other stuff around the same time, I think it'll be fine.

Also, I sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, there were bits in there where I was going, "God, I would love to do that because it's so good.". (on whether he is religious) I'm not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant... I'm very interested in religion as something to study, but I'm not a religious person in the slightest. I didn't look at the nudity and go, oh great. But it's the same as doing a role with an accent or a particular affectation. You look at the character first. Lots of the actors that I've admired have at one stage or another taken their kit off. It's a rite of passage. That iconic scene is the physical and emotional climax of the play. So if I do that with pants on, it would be crap. I feel okay about my body. Not totally, of course, no one my age does... but I've gone to the gym to make sure. And many of the actors I admire, like Gary Oldman , have gone naked.

People will always remember Harry, but I think if I work hard enough other characters will stick in their minds as well. [on the "Equus" paparazzi]: They were outside the theatre every single night, but we came up with a cunning ruse. I would wear the same outfit every time - a different T-shirt underneath, but I'd wear the same jacket and zip it up so they couldn't see what I was wearing underneath, and the same hat. So they could take pictures for six months, but it would look like the same day, so they (photos) became unpublishable. Which was hilarious, because there's nothing better than seeing paparazzi getting really frustrated. What everybody would love to see is me having ditched school and then just going wild. That's what I'm determined not to give them. It's not so much that they don't want me to grow up. It's that they're annoyed that I'm growing up adjusted. They'd much rather I was growing up and going wild and crashing cars. I'm lucky enough to have a job that I love, and a relatively down-to-earth life. (on being bullied in school) Some people did get very aggressive.

People say it was just jealousy, but I don't think it is jealousy. I think it's just "We can have a crack at the kid who plays Harry Potter." As Eddie Izzard says, these people always hang about in fives, because people these have a fifth of a personality each. I hate celebrity culture but I'm unavoidably part of it. These people are celebrities as a by-product of what they do. People read every little thing about Peter Andre and Katie Price and I couldn't care less. They don't want to work, have no interests, no passions, nothing and yet they seem to be held up on pedestals. I don't think they should be trying to push themselves onto us. It does annoy me of course, but I'm part of it. [on quitting drinking alcohol]: I became so reliant on (alcohol) to enjoy stuff. There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person's lifestyle that really isn't suited to me. As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time - that doesn't work for me. I do that very unsuccessfully.

I'd just rather sit at home and read, or go out to dinner with someone, or talk to someone I love, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh. When growing up, I thought of marriage as being very official, drawing up a contract. It seemed slightly clinical to me. But then you meet somebody that you really love and you think, "Actually, I wouldn't mind standing up in front of my friends and family and telling them how much I love you and that I want to be with you forever.". We like tearing down our own in England. If you look at what happened to Ken Branagh in the 1990s: all of the newspapers built him up, the new Olivier, and then destroyed him and his personal life. Not that I have been treated that badly, but I think a lot of people would like to write that story. [on receiving the script for The Woman in Black (2012)] It was a page-turner. What I liked about it was that it was a horror film, but it was unusual for a horror film to be so character-driven, to have such deep and affecting themes - themes of loss and what happens when we fail to move on from the loss.

[on occasionally being drunk while impersonating Harry Potter] I can point to many scenes where I am just gone. Dead behind the eyes. I don't have an entourage in my personal life. I get driven here and I get driven home, but that's it. I hate that kind of dropping-a-name-to-get-a-table stuff. Maybe it's an English thing that there's some sort of embarrassment saying, "Hello, I'm Daniel Radcliffe, does that make a difference to you?". [on many parents' objecting to The Woman in Black (2012)] I do take a small tincture of pride about it being the most complained-about film. I would have thought from the trailer that you could see what kind of a movie it was going to be. I said at the time, if your kid is under twelve I would advise them not to see this film. Apparently, there was a girl at the British premiere who fainted and when I heard that, I was like "We did something right.".

I'm scared of any sort of expression looking like a Harry expression, and so I think that the journey for me in the last year is kind of about acceptance, of going, "This is my face and it was also the face that played Harry Potter.". [on whether he identifies as Jewish] Absolutely. I really do. My dad is Northern Irish and my mum is Jewish. That's working blood. Though I am not religious in the least, I am very proud to be Jewish. [on rumors he was going to play Freddie Mercury in a biopic] There is no truth to it at all. It's one of those very, very funny things: it came out of a story in the Daily Star and then you see newspapers like The Guardian using The Star as their source, and it grows and grows [until] it's "Dan Radcliffe is playing Freddie Mercury!", which I was never going to do. Everyone on the Internet who I presume is saying I'm totally wrong for that part is correct. I AM completely wrong for that part!

I don't have Twitter and I don't have Facebook and I think that makes things a lot easier, because if you go on Twitter and tell everybody what you're doing moment to moment and then claim you want a private life, then no one is going to take that request seriously. [on shooting What If (2013) in Dublin, Ireland] Dublin looks awesome; it's not hard to make Dublin look really pretty but it looks great in the movie. I like action movies and I feel there used to be lots of really witty ones, like Die Hard (1988) and Lethal Weapon (1987) and the Bourne movies, but the good ones are few and far between now. I used to be self-conscious about my height, but then I thought, fuck that, I'm Harry Potter.

Salary (6) Dwayne Johnson Says Film With Daniel Radcliffe Called “Twinning” Dwayne Johnson Says Film With Daniel Radcliffe Called “Twinning” by 2Paragraphs in Culture | October 29, 2014 Linkedin Dwayne Johnson in "Hercules," Daniel Radcliffe in "Horns" English actor Daniel Radcliffe is best known as Harry Potter but for his new film, Horns , he plays a devilish American adult. For the role he had to develop an American accent. Radcliffe told Jimmy Fallon that he learned a lot by watching WWE shows, particularly programs from the late 1990s – also known as the “Attitude Era.” Radcliffe went as far as to act out the WWE matches with action figures and gave them their own accents. The Rock, Triple H, Stone Cole Steve Austin, The Undertaker and Kane included. Radcliffe said his favorite was The Rock (aka Dwayne Johnson). Radcliffe said: “I harbor a not-so-secret desire to somehow find parts for me and Dwayne Johnson to play in the same movie.

In an interview with Radio Times , the actor best known for playing Harry Potter admitted that he's open to reprising the iconic role one day. You can thank Star Wars: The Force Awakens for influencing that decision. “It would depend on the script,” he said. “The circumstances would have to be pretty extraordinary. But then I am sure Harrison Ford said that with Han Solo and look what happened there! So I am saying, ‘No,’ for now but leaving room to backtrack in the future.” Now we just need J.K. Rowling to get going on the story. Let's just bear in mind that Ford waited 32 years before reprising the role of Han Solo.

It's only been five years since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 came out, so we could be in for one hell of a wait. Advertisement BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Talking Shop: Daniel Radcliffe Printable version Talking Shop: Daniel Radcliffe Daniel Radcliffe is best known for playing the lead role in the five Harry Potter film series. The most recent, Order of the Phoenix, was released this summer. He is also signed up for the final two films. The 18-year-old actor talks about his reaction to the final Potter novel, Deathly Hallows, and how filming is going for the next movie, Half-Blood Prince. How does it feel to be part of such a successful film franchise? In a way I don't think of it as a franchise, it's just what I've been doing for the last seven years. It's been amazing for me in terms of the people I've met, and the friends I've made - some of whom I hope I'll know for the rest of my life. What are you favourite scenes in the Order of the Phoenix? The one I love is the one that takes place in the tapestry room in Sirius Black's house, where he discusses the nature of good and bad...

But essentially any scene with Gary Oldman or Imelda Staunton would be the ones I would watch again - and I'd just close my eyes when they cut to me. You're one of the most recognised faces in the world. How do you keep your feet on the ground when other young stars - like Britney Spears - are having such a tough time of it? I think there's a big difference between the way you grow up in America and in England if you're in this kind of position. In America, they'll treat you as an actor first and a child second. In England they treat you as a child first and that's the way it should be. Any 11-year-old who suddenly realises that that they can have anything they want is going to abuse that power, and you just need people around them to be honest and say "don't behave like that". I'm not sure that happens to the same extent in America. You just started filming on the sixth Harry Potter film, the Half-Blood Prince. How's it going so far? Really well. I've just been doing a bit of work with Jim Broadbent who plays Horace Slughorn, who's just fantastic.

And we've been doing a bit of stuff with me and Rupert [Grint, who plays Ron Weasley]. We haven't done any scenes with all the kids yet in the Great Hall - that's all to look forward to just after Christmas. It's glorious to be working with [director] David Yates again. Is the next film going to have a different feel to Order of the Phoenix? I think it will. In some places it will be quite a lot lighter, which is hard in a way for me because my natural instincts and personality tend towards the darker side. It's also nice to let people see Harry's sense of humour... but toward the end of the film it gets as dark as the fifth ever was. The final book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out in July. What was going through your mind as you read it? I didn't read it until about four days after it had come out, by which time most of the world knew what had happened, so I was going round with my fingers in my ears. I did manage to read it without anyone else spoiling it for me. And I was thrilled.

I'm glad I'm having a bit of a break between this film and number seven, but I'm very much looking forward to doing it. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was released on DVD on Monday 12 November. Daniel Radcliffe was talking to BBC Entertainment reporter Tim Masters.

(Caitlin Cronenberg / CBS Films) Mark Olsen Contact Reporter 'There was something very attractive about playing a normal guy,' said Daniel Radcliffe of 'What If' Daniel Radcliffe appeared for a Q&A on Monday night following a screening of his upcoming film “What If” as part of the Los Angeles Times’ ongoing Indie Focus Screening Series. He discussed, among other subjects, Comic-Con , rom-coms and unhealthy foods, making for a lively conversation. The film marks the first screen role for Radcliffe playing a contemporary character. In the Toronto-set rom-com directed by Michael Dowse from a screenplay by Elan Mastai based on a play by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi, Radcliffe plays a brokenhearted young man who meets a young woman ( Zoe Kazan ) who already has a boyfriend. The two struggle to be just friends, nothing more, with complications coming from both sides. The cast also includes Adam Driver, Mackenzie Davis, Megan Park and Rafe Spall.

Radcliffe wrapped up his run on Broadway in a revival of Martin McDonagh’s “The Cripple of Inishmaan” barely a week before, but had in the meantime been traveling to promote “What If” while also making an appearance at last weekend’s Comic-Con convention in San Diego for another new film, “Horns.” Radcliffe acknowledged how many people find it “unbelievable” that he had never attended the event before, since the “Harry Potter” series that launched him to stardom inspires just the kind of fandom that makes the convention run. Calling his time at Comic-Con “fantastic,” he added, “it was lovely to be able to go there, it’s an amazing atmosphere. You can’t imagine a fight breaking out, everyone’s just in a great mood, everyone’s there for comics and action figures and talking about films. It’s awesome. It’s a nice vibe.” "It's the first time I've either not played a wizard or somebody who has been dead for many, many, many, many years." — Daniel Radcliffe on his role in 'What If' He even walked among the crowds on the floor of the convention center, albeit hidden in a masked costume.

(His security team tagged along in character costumes as well.) While noting that Hugh Jackman and Bryan Cranston have appeared in costume as characters they had portrayed and still gone unrecognized, Radcliffe opted not to appear as the young wizard that made him famous.

(Joe Scarnici) “I went as Spider-Man, which has no relevance to anything I do,” he said. “It’s just a great superhero and one I fancied myself playing. That was the superhero I was convinced for a brief period of time I would one day turn into. “So I got the suit on and walked around. And it was great,” he added. “I don’t mean this to sound like a celebrity wishing they had a normal life or whatever and whining on, but it was very nice to walk around and interact with people without the fact that I played Harry Potter changing the interaction in some way.

Not necessarily getting in the way, but it alters it, and it was nice to just not have that.” The distinction of his role in “What If” as his first contemporary character was not lost on Radcliffe, and was among the things that attracted him to the role. Besides the “Potter” franchise, his other roles have been in period stories such as “The Woman In Black,” “Kill Your Darlings,” in which he played a young Allen Ginsberg, and the miniseries “A Young Doctor’s Notebook.” “It’s the first time I’ve either not played a wizard or somebody who has been dead for many, many, many, many years,” he said. “There was something very attractive about playing a normal guy, someone you might meet,” he said of his role in "What If." “And I think a lot of my own sense of humor was definitely allowed to come out in the film.” There’s a repeated reference made in the film to the sandwich known as “fool’s gold,” which involves an entire loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, a jar of jam, bacon and a lot of butter.

(A Toronto café also featured in the movie is serving them for a limited time.) Besides its intimidating density, the sandwich is perhaps most famous for the legend that Elvis Presley once flew to Denver expressly to have some delivered right to his plane. “If you can get a job where people will pay you to eat fool’s gold sandwiches, take it,” said Radcliffe. “Zoe hated it, but she grew up here and I grew up in England,” he added. “In L.A. you’re all very healthy here, but I am not. I am 70% fool’s gold. I enjoyed it a lot. Well done, Elvis. Another great thing you gave to us.” Follow Mark Olsen on Twitter: @IndieFocus
