| | | New Dan Radcliffe interview
Dan recently interviewed with GeekMonthly and talked about why he feels the need to avoid being typecast as Harry now that the HP movie series is drawing near the end. Quote:
I think that’s absolutely right, that there is a timetable.
I need to get as much work between now and the end of the series and the immediate aftermath of the series as I can to prove to people that I can do it. That’s why I’m constantly on the look out for scripts and things to do. That’s why I’m doing two things between Harry Potter 5 and 6, if and when that happens. I do feel a need to say to people that I am capable of more than Harry Potter.
That being said, I don’t pick roles specifically because they are very different from Harry Potter. You have to judge each role on what it is and who you’ll be working with. It just so happens that the films that have come my way are very different from Harry, and that’s a nice bonus, really.
Having said that, Harry Potter is a very demanding part and really challenging. I don’t mean to make it sound like Harry is an easy ride, because it’s not. But with doing things like Equus and My Boy Jack, which is a World War I story about Rudyard Kipling and his son, and I did December Boys last year - hopefully all of these projects should begin to let people see me in a different light.

I think it's great Dan's spreading his wings! he has pleanty of time though! When he signed on to Eqqus I was shocked beyond words, but now I think it's fantastic Dan's pushing himself like this. But even in twenty years when Dan's some movie director or stage actor, he will always be my HARRY POTTER!!!! don't fight that Dan!!!

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |
