Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was
born on July 23, 1989, in Fulham, England. When Radcliffe was about five years
old, he expressed a desire to act. One of his first roles was playing a dancing
monkey in a school play. Radcliffe got his first big break in 1999, when he
landed the role of young David Copperfield in a BBC adaptation of the famed Charles Dickens book.
In 2001, Daniel brought the famed fictional child sorcerer Harry Potter to the
big screen and instantly became one of the world's most recognizable faces. By
2007, Radcliffe had portrayed Harry in five installments of the series and had
become Britain's richest teenager.
In 2005, Radcliffe found
time to make a film outside the Harry Potter franchise when he traveled to Australia
to shoot December Boys. The film was set for release in the fall of 2007 and
marked Radcliffe's first attempt to forge a new on-screen identity. When
Radcliffe is not busy filming, he likes to play bass guitar. Radcliffe also
likes to buy CDs and he has said he is obsessed with music.
Horns came out to him in "Horns" in
2013, film based on a novel of Joe Hill. Later he became Igor in "Victor
Frankenstein" in 2015, film with James McAvoy as co-star. He incarnated
Michael Caine's son in "Now You See Me 2" and he became an FBI agent
infiltrated into a neo-Nazi group on "Imperium" last year. Thanks to
his interpretation of the famous magician, the actor has acquired a huge
worldwide fame.
