| | |  Wall Street Journal interviews Dan Radcliffe
Ahead of the U.S. PBS premiere of My Boy Jack tomorrow the Wall Street Journal has interviewed Dan Radcliffe, who talks about Harry Potter, his role in the World War I drama and his future. Quote: The Wall Street Journal: The roles you've played outside of Harry Potter don't have much in common with the boy wizard. Are you consciously looking for parts that are a departure from the role you're best known for?
Daniel Radcliffe: Realistically, if another seven-film fantasy series came along tomorrow I probably wouldn't do it. I don't think that would be the smartest career move in terms of separating myself and having people see me as an actor as opposed to a character.
Quote: WSJ: Your character in "My Boy Jack" enlists in the military at 17 and is forced to grow up quite quickly. Can you relate to that as a child actor?
Mr. Radcliffe: I think the difference between myself and Jack in that respect is that I grew up in an age where the idea and the concept of "teenager" existed. When Jack was around, it really didn't. You were either a child and in school, or an adult. And there was nothing in between really... But there are similarities in that we both had to grow up slightly faster than would be expected.
…I think in America you produce a very special breed of child actor. I see these kids at nine and ten and they're amazing, some of them. And I don't know how it happens. Dakota Fanning, for example… if she were physically older, she could sort of play anything. I didn't have that maturity at that age. In England, if you're a child actor, I think people don't expect you to be able to do it past age ten. It comes as a surprise if you're really interested in doing it aside from just getting rich or whatever.
Quote: WSJ: What types of film roles are you being offered these days?
Mr. Radcliffe: Right now it's very tricky because of Potter. I don't have a spare moment to make something until at least 2010 somewhere. I do the sixth Harry Potter…then I'm going to have a break, then I'm going to New York to do "Equus" on Broadway, which will be great. Then I'm going to do "Harry Potter 7" and by the time that's over I'll be 100 years old. I'm just kidding.
Thanks to marypao for the tip!  | |

V. interesting interview from Dan, just goes to show how grounded he remains despite the focus placed on him. it's a credit as much to him as those around him.

Lovely interview! I genuinely enjoyed it. His answers were fantastic and interesting because they asked him different questions than he's normally asked.
The comment about growing up and having teenage years was really great, especially. And I think that's the first time I've heard him say positive things about American child actors. It's true of any child actor though. You've certainly got to be prove that you're good and not just a cute face. Luckily, all three (Dan, Rupert, and Emma) have proven that they definitely are! Dan is so mature and put together.

Hehe, 100 years old. But I get what he means, he grew up filming Harry Potter as just a child, and it must seem like he's been part of it since forever.

He was definitely a child star, but I think that he's managing to break into becoming a celebrity outside of his Harry Potter role also.

Interesting comment about child actors in America. I never would've thought of that.
I love Dan!

I thought My Boy Jack came out already last year for some reason. Is it just coming out now?

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

Yeah he does have a point, if he doesnt choose parts that are not at all potter related then he wont be able to be separated for the character for a long time!
HEHE...I loved how they called him "Mr.Radcliffe" XD

| So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Ha I love the "Mr. Radcliffe" thing.

Great interview. I agree with what he said 100 percent and am glad he realizes that he has to get out of the fantasy genre.
