It can't be easy for any child actor to be the face of a franchise as popular as Harry Potter, for as long as it ran, from as young as Daniel Radcliffe did. However, the actor seemingly handling the pressure incredibly well, and was a big reason the movies ultimately became as beloved as they did.

The risk for Radcliffe coming out of Harry Potter was that he would be forever remembered for the one role, and for a while that was true. Even baring all on stage for Equus wasn't enough to shake the constant Potter comparisons, but in recent years, the actor has branched out far more.

After appearing in the likes of Woman in Black and Horns, Radcliffe portrayed Igor in Victor Frankenstein, the villainous Walter in Now You See Me 2, and impressed in the surprisingly good Swiss Army Man. Though his latest movie, The Playmobil Movie, was nothing more than a dud, he can now be seen showing off his comedic chops in Miracle Workers, next to Steve Buscemi.

There may even be another huge franchise in Radcliffe's future, as the actor is a favourite to play Moon Knight in Marvel's upcoming Disney+ show.
