Radcliffe has also starred opposite Michael Caine in Now You See Me 2, and opposite Paul Dano in A24’s indie hit Swiss Army Man, as well as in Imperium, a thriller inspired by real events about white supremacists in America. He also won rave reviews for his performance as Rosencrantz, opposite Josh McGuire’s Guildenstern, in Tom Stoppard’s ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead’ at The Old Vic, London.

Since completing the final instalment in the series of eight Harry Potter films in 2010, Radcliffe quickly proved himself a diverse talent. In 2011, he starred in a 10-month sell-out run of the Broadway musical ‘How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying’. The following year Radcliffe starred in the horror/thriller The Woman in Black. He also starred opposite Jon Hamm in two seasons of the TV mini-series, A Young Doctor’s Notebook, a comedy drama based on a collection of short stories by celebrated Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov.

A lifelong fan of The Simpsons, Radcliffe has lent his voice to the show three times.
