British theater and film actor Daniel Radcliffe is known worldwide for his role as the wizard boy Harry Potter. To be cunning, they have become something whole, one, and to imagine someone else in this image is simply impossible. Radcliffe himself, having dedicated the project for almost ten years, officially announced that he would not return to the role, arguing that he wanted to move on and with age. The actor at his current age in the image of a young boy no longer looks so organically.
Daniel Radcliffe reinforces his words with action and starred in a very interesting and "adult" movie. We offer you a selection of his roles that will allow you to go beyond the usual perception of his work on the screen.
Arthur Kipps, Woman in Black
The role of the young lawyer of the times of England of the 19th century fell to the actor very much to face. Serious and intelligent, he seemed to have descended from the pages of secular chronicles. According to the plot of the mystical thriller, Kipps goes to a distant province in order to figure out the affairs of his client, while taking his little son. The wife of the protagonist died during childbirth. In a strange and forgotten place of God, the ghosts of the past begin to bother him and the most terrible secrets of the village come off.
For this work, Daniel Radcliffe received the BloodGuts UK Horror Awards in the Best Actor nomination. An interesting coincidence, in the original version of the film, released in 1989, the lawyer was played by Adrian Rawlins - the screen father of Harry Potter.
Vladimir Bomgard, Notes of a Young Doctor
Radcliffe repeatedly confessed his love for the work of M. A. Bulgakov, calling his best work "The Masters and Margarita." In this regard, he simply could not refuse the role of Vladimir Bomgard in the mini-series "Notes of a Young Doctor", based on the eponymous work of a Russian classic. The premiere took place in 2012. His character is a young doctor, who by distribution got into the outback. Hard times were in the yard - 1917. Some moments from Bulgakov’s other stories, in particular the doctor’s morphine dependence, were added to the storyline. Bomgard periodically "visits" he has matured, more experienced and qualified. John Hamm was invited to the role of an adult doctor. Interestingly, Daniel Radcliffe, whose height is 1.65 m, is more than 20 cm lower than what he is supposed to become after a decade. Actor D. Hamm has a height of 1.88 cm.
Allen Ginsberg, “Kill Your Loved Ones”
In 2008, Radcliffe auditioned for the role of the famous American poet of the 20th century Allen Ginsberg in the autobiographical drama "Kill Your Loved Ones." At the same time, he completely switched to work on the last two parts of the Harry Potter story, so the producers considered the issue of replacing him with another actor. However, funding was suspended, and when director John Crocidas returned to making the film in 2012, he again offered the role to Radcliffe. The plot of the picture revolves around the murder that occurred in 1944 and brought together the most famous hipster writers Burroughs, Kerouac and Ginsberg.
On the set of this film, Daniel Radcliffe and his girlfriend Erin Dark (pictured) met. She played a cameo role. The couple have been together for five years, and rumors periodically appear of their engagement.
Igor Straussman, Victor Frankenstein
After almost a month of negotiations in 2013, Reckfield got the role of assistant mad scientist in Paul McGuigan's new science fiction film, Victor Frankenstein. The story is narrated on behalf of Igor, who tells the story of his friendship with a young scientist, as well as his formation as a legend of that time. Initially, the plot of the character of Radcliffe suffers from a serious ailment. The actor admits that he walked for hours in an uncomfortable position in order to play his role most reliably. The mystery drama premiered in 2015.
Despite the fact that the film is considered American, his entire team, with the exception of the cameraman, is British, moreover, all the shootings, both studio and full-scale, took place in the UK.
Nate Foster, Absolute Power
The actor is not looking for easy ways, but strives for self-development. Daniel Radcliffe films choose the most diverse: from comedy melodramas to horror and thrillers. Perhaps this is his "search for himself." In 2016, the premiere of the political drama "Absolute Power", which was released in a limited release, took place. Radcliffe plays the FBI agent, who is being introduced undercover in a neo-Nazi gang. Its purpose is to prevent a terrorist attack. He learns about how to defend his rights by force, close his soul and live in a stream of violence and cruelty every day firsthand.
According to critics, the role played by Daniel Radcliffe in “Absolute Power” claims to be the most “mature” in his career at the moment, and the film itself is almost the best project of the post-Potter period. However, there is no doubt that he is talented, as well as that he will "outgrow" Harry Potter. On the path to the glory of a dramatic actor, he takes confident and successful steps.
