History Creator / DanielRadcliffe

* FakeAmerican: He faked an American accent for his roles in ''Theatre/HowToSucceedInBusinessWithoutReallyTrying'' and ''The Lifespan Of A Fact'' as well as ''Film/GunsAkimbo'' and ''Film/WeirdTheAlYankovicStory''.

The son of a literary agent and a casting agent, Radcliffe began acting in small roles before ''Harry Potter''. In the year 2000, the hunt for the right child actor to play Harry was starting to resemble the search for [[Film/GoneWithTheWind Scarlett O'Hara]]. After seeing Radcliffe in a [[Creator/TheBBC BBC]] version of ''Literature/DavidCopperfield'', Creator/ChrisColumbus asked Radcliffe's parents to allow him to audition, but they declined. Sometime later, David Heyman and Creator/SteveKloves attended a production of the play ''Stones in His Pockets'' and encountered Radcliffe in the audience. The next day, Heyman called Radcliffe's parents, and this time they agreed to let him audition. Radcliffe happened to be taking a bath at the time his parents got the call that he had gotten the part, and admits to being so happy that he cried. He then woke up in the middle of the following night, causing him to wake up his parents to ask them if he'd really gotten the part or if it was AllJustADream.

* DoingItForTheArt: Much of his post Harry Potter work has consisted largely of smaller films and character driven pieces that have allowed him to stretch his acting muscles more or just [[AwesomeDearBoy take wild chances and have fun]].
* FakeAmerican: He faked an American accent for his roles in ''Theatre/HowToSucceedInBusinessWithoutReallyTrying'' and ''The Lifespan Of A Fact'' as well as ''Film/GunsAkimbo'' and ''Weird: The Al Yankovic Story''.
* ForTheLulz: He has always been quite open about his hatred for the Paparazzi and often goes out of his way to make things hard on them, such as wearing the same clothes while working so it looks like all the pictures are from the same night, or wearing very reflective material the when exposed to a flash washes out the picture. He admits it petty but does anyway because its fun.
* FormerChildStar: Fortunately, he has been making some smart career decisions to get a decent adult career going. It helps that he was mentored by Creator/AlanRickman. Radcliffe has also been very open about the fact that the pressure from his fame caused him to struggle quite a bit with feelings of depression and even some degree of alcoholism for some time during his late teens, and that he was frequently drunk for much of the filming of ''The Deathly Hallows''.

** He revealed to Jimmy Fallon that he likes doing American rap and was the first to memorize several artists' pieces. Then he recited the "Alphabet Aerobics Rap" without missing a beat.

* AdamWesting: In shows like ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'' he is happy to play a snarky, {{Jerkass}} caricature of himself.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: ''Equus'' made people realize Radcliffe could do more than just Harry Potter. While Harry remains his most iconic role, Radcliffe generally gets praised across genres even in somewhat critically-reviled films (see ''The Woman in Black'', ''Now You See Me 2'').

* FakeAmerican: Played one in "Lifespan of a Fact" on Broadway. Reviews were kind.

* ''Series/MiracleWorkers'' (2019 -- present)

* IAmNotSpock: He doesn't necessarily hate being associated with Harry Potter, he just would rather be known for more than just Harry. He does appreciate what it's done for him and the people it's introduced to him, but wants to focus on future roles.
