Daniel Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe is an English actor, born in 1989, who is best known for playing the title character in all eight films of the Harry Potter series between 2001 and 2011. Films in which he has led have grossed more than eight billion dollars worldwide, which places him among the most commercially significant child actors to move into adult roles.
