His Career:

Radcliffe's parents, Alan Radcliffe and Marcia Gresham, discouraged their only child from show business when, at age five, he said that he wanted to perform.

This was followed in 2001 by his first film appearance, as Mark Pendel in The Tailor of Panama. In 2001, he starred in his most remembered role; that of Harry Potter in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

In 2002, he had a role in the play The Play What I Wrote directed by Kenneth Branagh; a production well known for their "suprise guest". 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 starred in the independant Australian film December Boys directed by Rod Hardy within the next year and in 2007 he again put on the famous lightning-bolt shaped scar and round glasses in the fifth Harry Potter film Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
