Longer version (includes filmography):
Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born in England on July 23, 1989. He is the only
child of Alan Radcliffe and Marcia Gresham. Daniel lives with his parents in
Fulham, London and he attends to all-boys private school in London. Daniel
enjoys playing pranks and being with his friends. He has earned 6 million pounds
so far portraying Harry Potter, making him the second richest teenage in Britain
behind Prince Harry's 14 million pounds. He has stated, that he really doesn’t
care about the money and basically all he buys with the money is CDs. Dan says
that he loves music and especially he likes rock and punk.
Daniel Radcliffe had had a passion for acting since he was just a 5-year-old
child. His parents weren’t thrilled of the idea and they did not encourage
Daniel to go for movie roles. He’s first acting role, however, came in 1999 when
Daniel was cast as young David Copperfield in ‘David Copperfield’ and he starred
along side Dame Maggie Smith and Bob Hoskins. Daniels performance was described as
'heartbreaking'. After that, the young actor made an appearance in ‘The Tailor
of Panama’ in 2001 having a change to act with Jamie Lee Curtis, Geoffrey Rush
and Pierce Brosnan. But the movie that was going to make Daniel one of the most
famous teenagers nowadays was yet to come. The casting for Harry Potter movies
had been started long ago and many young boys had auditioned to get the role of
Harry. It was Daniel, however, who got the part. Daniel was in theatre when
producer David Heyman first saw him. Daniel’s father Alan knew David from work
and he introduced Daniel to David. Daniel was asked to audition for Harry Potter
and he went through couple of auditions and was then cast to play Harry Potter.
When he first heard, that he’d been chosen to play Harry Potter, Daniel cried.
He has said that it was probably one of the most defining moments of his life.
Daniel wasn’t wrong: After the release of
Harry Potter and the
Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone in 2001, almost everybody knew, who Daniel Radcliffe was. Daniel returned on the big screen as the second movie, Harry
Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, was released in 2002. Both movies brought him
a lot of publicity and Daniel was also nominated for several awards; he won Best
Newcomer at the Variety Club Awards in February 2002 and received the Sir James
Carreras Award for Outstanding New Talent for his role in Harry Potter at The
Variety Club Show business Awards 2002. In 2002 Time Kids voted Daniel to be the
‘person of the year’. Daniel visited many talk shows and events and critics said
that he’s the most promising future actor.
After a while away from cinema world, Daniel returned to shoot the third
Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in which he had the
opportunity to play alongside his idol, Gary Oldman. After the release of PoA
Daniel has made several TV appearances and he, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson have
all received many compliments of their work in the third movie. They all will
return to big screen in November 2005, when Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
is released.
The Harry Potter movies aren't slowing down. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
quickly climbed to the top of the movie charts. Dan's acting skills improved
greatly. After filming stopped for GoF, Dan was already planning his next move!
He signed to play the eldest of a group of orphan boys. His character's name is

December Boys will be released in 2006, but the date is unknown.
Daniel Radcliffe took part in a play called
Equus.
Daniel plays the character of troubled teenager named Alan Strang. This was one
of Daniel's most amazing works other than the Harry Potter series because he
believed that it really pushed him as an actor. The play also attracted a lot of
press because Daniel had a scene where he would be naked.
Expanding his acting career, Daniel took part in
another film called December Boys. The film is based on Michael Noonan's
novel and focuses on four orphans who leave their orphanage for a holiday by the
sea. December Boys is released in September of 2007.
Just after filming finished for December Boys in January 2006, Dan returned to
the glasses. Dan has stated many times that Harry Potter and the Order of the
Phoenix is one of his favorites out of the series. He is looking forward to the
kissing scene with Katie Leung (Cho Chang). The fifth installment's release date
is July 11, 2007! Daniel Radcliffe has officially agreed to stay for the last
two Harry Potter films. Daniel is also joins the cast for a new movie called
My Boy Jack.
After almost an entire month of promotional projects for
December Boys and completing filming on
My Boy Jack, Daniel finds himself back on
the Harry Potter set. Filming for the sixth installment of the Harry Potter
series began at the end of September and lasted until May 2008. However, as the filming came to a close,
Daniel suprised his US fans by agreeing to participate on Broadway. He resumed
his role as Alan Strang in Equus. Radcliffe
took a bold move to New York City. While continuing his Broadway project, Daniel
took part in Tim Hailand's "One Day in the Life of" Project.
On January 13, 2009, Tim Hailand got the chance to follow Daniel around for the day to
gain insight into his life. The book is set to be released Decemember 2009.
Near the completion of his commitment to Broadway, Daniel
went back to the UK to start filming for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
in Feburary 2009. By the end of June, Daniel had to start preparing for Harry
Potter madess when Harry Potter
and the Half-Blood Prince was released on July 15th 2009.
After promoting the sixth Harry Potter film, Daniel
went back to the Harry Potter set to continue filming
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
With the Harry Potter films coming to an end, Daniel has said he is ready to move
on and take on new roles and projects, but for now, it's still all about Harry Potter.
More Daniel, please?
