He was cast for the role of Harry Potter, and who knew that this would change his life forever. He played one of the biggest roles in cinematic history, and it was quite a remarkable journey for Radcliffe.
He led a great legacy throughout the 10 years of the films, and when they had ended, it was heartbreaking to say the least. I am a die hard Harry Potter fan, and when that last movie came out, I couldn’t believe that the greatest series ever made, was about to come to an end. It was just captivating watching him act, and it really made everyone feel like you were in the actual movie. I mean I’m pretty sure it’s basically everyone’s life long dream to attend Hogwarts at some point in their lives.
After the series was over, his movie career slowly started to die down a bit. What magnificent thing will he do next? After the film, he managed to land one of the best Broadway lead roles out there. Starting in 2007, he made is Broadway debut with the play “Equus.” Later on, after the Potter series was over, he was in the award winning broadway show, “How to succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” This show was all the rage when it first came out; Radcliffe could not have put on a better performance!
Who knew that a movie star could be so fantastic on Broadway? I personally think it is astounding when you see actors that have multi interests, and then they get the chance to go and pursue it. It’s truly breathtaking to say the least. After his time on Broadway, he slowly started to come back to the big screen. He starred in his first ever horror movie called, “The Woman in Black” in 2012. It was both beautifully dark, and scary at the same time. I have to say, this is one pretty good horror movie that will definitely keep you up at night.
He was spotted in certain shows and movies after that, but mostly he stayed out of the limelight for quite awhile. But where is Radcliffe now? He has taken to the big screen yet again to take on a more comedic role for a movie called, “What If.” This movie is the perfect love story, mixed with the perfect amount of comedy, and that little bit of edge to spark things up a bit.
It is really amazing to watch him grow from project to project, and see how far he has come today. He made a great transition from the Harry Potter world, into reality. One moment he’s trying to catch the golden snitch, and the next he’s blasting us away with his killer vocals and dancing. It always surprises me when celebrities perfectly pull off more than project, especially going from the big screen to the big stage.
He is truly one of the best actors out there, and we could certainly use more in the world like him.
