Early career

Radcliffe's parents, Alan Radcliffe and Marcia Gresham, discouraged their only child from show business when, at age five, he said he wanted to perform. However, they must have soon changed their minds; in December, 1999, he made his first on-screen appearance as the young David Copperfield in the BBC's televised version of the Dickens novel David Copperfield. This was followed in 2001 by his first film appearance, as Mark Pendel in The Tailor of Panama. In 2001 he starred in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (released in the United States as Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone).

In 2002, he had a role in The Play What I Wrote (a play directed by Kenneth Branagh, with whom Radcliffe would later appear in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets). In 2004 and 2005, he returned to the Potter franchise in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Radcliffe will star in the independent Australian film December Boys (directed by Rod Hardy) within the next year, and is slated to appear in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in 2007.

Personal life

Radcliffe—who prefers to be called "Dan"—is educated at the public all-boys City of London School. He has two dogs (named Binka and Nugget).

He plays bass guitar and once had a bass lesson from Prisoner of Azkaban co-star Gary Oldman. A passionate guitar-rock music fan, some of his favourite bands include The Clash, The Libertines, The Strokes, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Pixies. He also enjoys Bloc Party, REM, U2 and Stereophonics.

Radcliffe has also been a supporter of various charities. Fans have repeatedly donated to organizations on his request, including the Demelza House charity, in lieu of sending him birthday presents.

As well as being a firm fan of Fulham Football Club, Daniel is a big follower of the World Wrestling Entertainment league of wrestling and Formula One Racing.[1]

Wealth

The Daily Mail says Radcliffe's personal fortune has now exceeded GB 23 million; if correct, this would make him the richest teenager in the United Kingdom. [2]
