About this person

Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born 23 July 1989 in England, and in 2001 he became Harry Potter - all eight films through 2011, a commitment that ran from childhood into his twenties. The pivot came in 2007 when he took Equus to the West End and Broadway, playing a troubled stable boy in a role far from Hogwarts. He kept the stage work coming: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying in 2011 earned him a Grammy nomination, The Cripple of Inishmaan in 2014, the Stoppard and Beckett revivals in London, and Merrily We Roll Along in 2023, which won him a Tony Award and another Grammy nod. The film choices ran deliberately strange - The Woman in Black, Swiss Army Man as a flatulent corpse, Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings, "Weird Al" Yankovic in a musical parody that brought Emmy and BAFTA nominations. He's been with actress Erin Darke since 2012; they have a son.
