Daniel Jacob Radcliffe (born 23 July 1989) is an English actor who rose to
prominence playing the title
character in the Harry
Potter film series. Radcliffe made his acting debut at age ten in BBC One's 1999
television movie David
Copperfield, followed by his film debut in
2001's The Tailor of Panama. At age eleven he was cast as the title character in the first
Harry Potter film, and
starred in the series for ten years until the release of the eighth
and final film in July 2011. He also began to
branch out to stage acting in 2007, starring in the London and New York
productions of the play Equus
and in the 2011 Broadway revival of the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. In addition, he has starred in 2007's December Boys
and the 2012 sleeper hit horror film The
Woman in Black. He will play beat poet Allen Ginsberg
in the 2013 indie film Kill
Your Darlings.
Radcliffe has contributed to many
charities, including Demelza
House Children's Hospice and The Trevor Project. He also made public
service announcements for the latter. In 2011, he was
awarded the Trevor Project's "Hero Award".
Radcliffe first expressed a desire to act at the age of five,[9] and in December 1999, aged ten, he made his acting debut in the BBC One's televised two-part adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel David Copperfield, portraying the title character as a young boy.[10]
Radcliffe was educated at two independent schools for boys:[11] at Sussex House School, a day school in Cadogan Square in Chelsea in London,[12] followed by the City of London School,[13] a day school on the North Bank of the River Thames in London's financial district, known as the City of London.[14]
Following the release of the first Harry Potter movie, attending school became difficult for Radcliffe, with some fellow pupils becoming hostile. Radcliffe said it was people just trying to "have a crack at the kid that plays Harry Potter" rather than jealousy.[15] As his acting career began to consume his schedule, Radcliffe continued his education through on-set tutors. He admitted he was not very good at school, considered it useless, and found the work to be "really, really difficult";[11] however, he did achieve A grades in the three A-levels that he sat in 2006, but then decided to take a break from education and did not go to college or university.[16] Part of the reason was that he already knew he wanted to act and write, and that it would be difficult to have a normal college experience. "The paparazzi, they’d love it," he told Details magazine in 2007. "If there were any parties going on, they’d be tipped off as to where they were".[15]
