Just a few years ago, Daniel Radcliffe had only two movies to his credit that were not Harry Potter. Now as the end of the Harry Potter franchise can be seen on the horizon, Dan is deliberately trying to show the world that he can do more than play a boy wizard. In a few short years he has managed to (in-between Harry Potter movies, of course!) film 2 full movies, perform in a play, and shoot a guest starring role on a popular British TV show. Most of these roles, and the stage play for sure, shook up how the world viewed him.
First, Dan got his feet wet by playing a raunchy wannabe man boy on the popular British show Extras.  Found here in our galleries. A clip of Dan on Extras may be found here in our video galleries. Warning: PG-13 and up content. Next he played an edgy orphan in the Australian production December Boys  Here in our galleries. In the PBS special My Boy Jack, Dan played the very dramatic role of Jack Kipling, son of famous author Rudyard Kipling.  Here in our galleries. And to top it all off, Dan took the very challenging and high-profile role of Alan Strang in the stageplay Equus by Peter Schaeffer.  Here in our galleries. This play involves very serious acting and a nude scene, both of which have caught the public's attention. Now Dan has brought Equus to Broadway in his continuing quest to prove he can be more than just Harry Potter. He's getting rave reviews with his debut performance on Broadway, as noted on the Leaky Mainpage here! What do you think? Has Dan started to prove he has what it takes to go further than Hogwarts? Did you like his other performances? Were they good choices for him? Do you think the world will let him move on after Deathly Hallows part 2? Give us your thoughts!
