Also, he has said "I like listening to music. I like keeping fit. I run, I run a lot. I do press-ups and things, I do football and I do all kinds of sports. What else do I do... I play PlayStation a lot. A lot.” Dan also wishes he could play the drums, though he doubts he would be able to do it. In all of Dan’s acting career, he has only landed one amateur role. “I was a monkey in a school play when I was eight. I had a yellow and brown face paint on and I wore tights. And I had to kick my legs about and sing something with about 20 other people. I didn't do other plays, I knew I'd get too nervous.” He wishes he could've played Ewan McGregor's role in Moulin Rouge. “I couldn't have done it. I can't sing. I could do the snogging (kissing) Nicole Kidman bit. I doubt I'd be hard pressed to do that! When I see a great part, I wish I'd been alive so I could have done it.”Dan Acting History It had always been a life long dream for Daniel Radcliffe to become an actor. His parents, however, were quite sceptical about the idea. He was thoroughly encouraged to pursue his dream to try out for the 1999 British TV version of Charles Dickens’ “Oliver Twist”, but still his parents didn’t budge. Finally, Dan got his wish. When the opportunity had arisen to try out for another Dickens’ classic, “David Copperfield“, (BBC, 1999), they relented. Surviving five call-backs, Radcliffe landed the role and earned glowing notices for his work. He also displayed a poise and screen charisma and more than held his own opposite such veterans as Bob Hoskins and Dame Maggie Smith. This was just a little taste of the fame Dan was soon about to face. Radcliffe landed the highly coveted role of “Harry Potter”, the bespectacled young wizard of the very popular book series by author J.K. Rowling. The young actor triumphed over numerous performers Radcliffe landed the highly coveted part of Harry Potter, the bespectacled young wizard of the popular series of books by author J K Rowling. The young actor beat out numerous other performers (including the much-rumoured Gabriel Thomson, who ironically had played another Dickens hero, Pip in 1999's "Great Expectations", and Liam Aiken, who had co-starred in director Chris Columbus' "Step mom" 1998). Radcliffe received the imprimatur of author Rowling and was expected to be a breakout when "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" opened in theatres in November 2001. Now, his list also includes “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”, and soon, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” (to be released June, 2004). Hopefully, he will continue to pursue his acting career, and stick with the “Harry Potter” series for as long as possible!Contact InformationDaniel Radcliffe ARG Talent 4 Great Portland Street London W1W 8PADaniel Radcliffe LEAVESDEN STUDIOS PO Box 3000 Leavesden, Herts, WD25 7LT
