Daniel Radcliffe

Being the only child of a casting director and literary agent, Daniel Radcliffe was born on July 23, 1989. He has achieved global stardom for his role in Harry Potter films released in November 2001. People adored him as the lead actor, taking up the role of an orphaned boy who goes for training in a special school of wizards. With every film released, the fever and popularity of the series grew with time, spanning over a decade of his life. In the real sense, the series clearly shows Daniel grow from a teen to a young man, offering him a rare opportunity to work with renowned actors, such as Helena Bonham, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, and Gary Oldman. While many people would come to the conclusion that Radcliffe has lost most of his youth to success and fame, he too has had his share of troubles over the years. He admitted that he had a problem with alcohol during his teen, which sometimes led him to appear occasionally to film series while he was still drunk. However, since 2010 he has been sober.

Career Accomplishments

Daniel Radcliffe has enjoyed enormous success since he was just a teen. Since 2001, he has made news as one of the best teen actors globally, with many books written about the films he made. When the series ended with Pat 2 of Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, it was reported that the film brought in approximately 168 million dollars in just the opening weekend. However, this final movie came with some sad good-byes. Daniel had to set his famous character, Harry Potter, to rest, which meant that he would be missing in the entertainment industry. In his life outside Harry Potter movies, Daniel has also tried various roles in other films. In 2006 he was offered a special spot in the comedy Extras, and then Equus, where he played the part of a disturbed teenager. Other notable films and shows he has been involved with include The Woman in Black, Saturday Night Live, A Young Doctor’s Notebook, Kill your Darlings in 20013, Horns, and What If.
