10 Favorite Actors/Actresses: #10

To tide you all over until the release of my multi-part look at Batman: The Killing Joke, I thought I would give you an insight into ten of my favorite actors and actresses across media, including actors who have physically appeared in film as well as voice acting for animation. Every other day, I shall release a new actor or actress to this countdown until we have reached number one.

10- Daniel Radcliffe
Roles best known for: Title character in Harry Potter, Igor in Victor Frankenstein

Throughout my childhood and teen years, I was known as a bit of an avid reader (and I still am in case you are wondering, as evidenced by my favorite book being Victor Hugo's Les Miserables) and starting to becoming the film buff  I am today (like Adam Goldberg in his youth). The main series that contributed to both of those aspects was a franchise known as Harry Potter. When I was a child, I would always go to a movie theater to see the premiere of the most recent film in the series, which created many fond memories throughout my life. I was hooked to the point of wanting to read the books, which sparked my passionate interest in literature. While I would love to talk about how much Harry Potter impacted my life and my interests, I must stay on topic and discuss why the man who embodied the role of the franchise's title character is one of my favorite actors, a trait he shares with one of his fellow costars. I enjoy seeing how Radcliffe immerses himself in each role he is involved in and able to put his own twist and interpretation to each character he plays. With each role I have seen him portray, I do not see him as simply "Daniel Radcliffe" playing (insert character name here), I see the character embodied by Radcliffe as he makes the role his own. Of course, my favorite role he has played is The Boy Who Lived, Harry Potter. If I had to choose a particular film in that series, I would say his portrayal in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
