Expand Full Bio
Radcliffe was intrigued by acting at an early age, but his parents initially dismissed his aspirations until 1999, when he played the title character in a British TV-movie of David Copperfield and won raves for his poised performance. A dead-ringer for the fictional wizard Harry Potter (judging by the books' illustrations, at least), Radcliffe soon landed the coveted role in the 2001 film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The movie was a smashing success, breaking international box-office records and turning him into an instant star and a very rich young man. Radcliffe went on to appear in five Potter films between 2001 and 2007, leaving him little time to pursue outside projects besides high school. Audiences loved watching this charming adolescent grow up on screen in tandem with his cinematic alter ego. In 2007, in order to differentiate himself from his seminal role, he made a wise career move by appearing in a revival of Equus on the London stage. His performance as a mentally disturbed teen wowed critics but stunned some of his longtime fans, particularly since one scene required him to appear completely nude.
Career
adcliffe was asked to audition for the role of Harry Potter in 2000 by producer David Heyman, while in attendance at a London production of Stones in His pockets.In August of that year, after several auditions, he was selected to play the role in the big-budget adaptation of the award-winning book series by J.K. Rowling. Rowling herself also approved of this selection: "Having seen Dan Radcliffe's screen test I don't think Chris Columbus could have found a better Harry". Radcliffe made his film debut in 2001 with a supporting role alongside pierce Brosnan in the Tailor of panama, and the first Harry Potter film, Harry potter and the philosopher's Stone was released later that year.
Radcliffe has also starred in the five subsequent Harry Potter film adaptations: Harry potter and the Chambe of Secrets(2002),Harry potter and the prisoner of Azkaban (2004),Harry potter and the Goblet of Fire(2005) Harry potter and the Order of the phoenix (2007) and Harry potter and the Half-Blood prince (2009). He has signed on the seventh, and eighth films; Harry potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I and II, expected in 2010 and 2011. Radcliffe is 'very happy' that the decision has been made to split the last film into two parts, as he doesn't believe that anything should be cut out of the climactic book. The films continue to produce high box office results worldwide.
In 2002, Radcliffe appeared as a guest in the West End production The play What I Wrote directed by Kenneth Branagh (who appeared with Radcliffe in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as Professor Lockhart). In 2006, he began to make the transition from child to adult actor, appearing in the television series Eztras as a parody of himself, as well as filming the independent Australian drama December Boys The film, which was filmed in six weeks was released in North America by Warner Bros on 14 September 2007. Radcliffe worked with a language coach for six months to perfect an Australian accent. He took the role because he wanted to appear in a film in which he played a supporting role rather than the central character. Next, Radcliffe opened on 27 February 2007 in a revival of peter Shaffer's play Equus as Alan Strang, a stable boy who has an obsession with horses. The role generated significant pre-opening media interest and advance sales topped £2 million, as Radcliffe appeared nude in one scene in the play.'s performance received positive reviews, as critics were impressed by the nuance and depth of his against-type role. Radcliffe's last performance in Equus took place on 9 June 2007. The production then transferred to Broadway in New York City opening on 25 September 2008, where Radcliffe reprised the role of Alan Strang along with Richard Griffiths, who was also in the Equus production in London and played Vernon Dursley in the Harry Potter series. to the play's opening he stated that he was nervous about repeating the role on Broadway because he considered American audiences more discerning than those in London. During the summer of 2007, he filmed the ITV drama My Boy Jack, based upon the true story of Rudyard Kipling s son's death in battle during the First World War, which aired in the Uk on Remembrance Day 2007 and premiered in the United States on 20 April 2008. In the film, Radcliffe played Jack Kipling, a World War I-era soldier and the son of author Rudyard Kipling About the role, he stated:
For many people my age, the First World War is just a topic in a history book. But I've always been fascinated by the subject and think it's as relevant today as it ever was.
At the age of sixteen, Radcliffe became the youngest non-royal ever to have an individual portrait in Britain's National portrait Gallery. On 13 April 2006, his portrait, drawn by Stuart pearson Wright was unveiled as part of a new exhibition opening at London's Royal National Theatre, then moved to the National Portrait Gallery where it resides. was fourteen at the time of the portrait's creation.
