Background

Having starred in one of the most famous film production series in the world, Daniel Radcliffe is always recognizable as a household name in the movie industry. With his prowess as an actor, he continues to captivate long-time fans worldwide and casual moviegoers alike. Radcliffe was born in London, England on July 23, 1989, as an only child. His parents are Alan Radcliffe, a literary agent, and Marcia Gresham, a casting agent. Later on, in a documentary series that he filmed with the B.B.C., it was revealed that both his parents were involved in acting when they were children. This interest in acting was passed down to Radcliffe, who started to express it at the tender age of five. It was not until he was 10 that he debuted as an actor in “David Copperfield” in 1999, portraying the young Copperfield himself.

His role in “David Copperfield” caught the attention of film director Chris Columbus, who was collaborating with author J.K. Rowling to find an actor to play Harry Potter. With a push from Jamie Lee Curtis, who acted with Radcliffe in the 2001 American movie “The Tailor of Panama,” and the request from producer David Heyman, he auditioned for the role of Harry Potter and eventually got the part. The first movie, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” was released in November 2001 and gained massive worldwide success. For the next 10 years, he continued playing the role in all of the “Harry Potter” installments, while also landing various roles in several other projects. He made his first stage acting debut during this time also, with the revival of Peter Shaffer’s 1973 play “Equus” in 2007 at West End. Playing Alan Strang, a deranged character with an unnatural obsession with horses, this darker character broadened his acting range. It also gained many positive reviews from many fans and critics. “Equus” then went to Broadway, where Radcliffe played the lead role and successfully made his Broadway debut. In the following years, his role in Broadway’s 2011 revival of “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” brought him a ‘Drama Desk Award’ nomination. Post-”Harry Potter,” he also has starred in multiple box office films, such as “The Woman in Black” in 2012, “Kill Your Darlings” in 2013, and “Now You See Me 2” in 2016.

Radcliffe has kept his private life out of the spotlight and he has steered clear of creating social media accounts. He has, however, told the public that he’s been in a long-term relationship with American actress Erin Darke. They worked together in John Krokidas’ 2013 movie “Kill Your Darlings.” He also ventured into philanthropist activities by supporting various charity organizations. And alongside this financial support, he also has openly expressed his own social and political beliefs.
