He's clearly working plenty, and like many child stars (from all forms of entertainment), he has to reinvent himself to new audiences

since his previous demographic was built around one thing. Has any other actor in history been so assoicated with a single (recurring) role from the age he was?

I say Bravo to him for branching out and trying new things. I don't think he could carry anything on his name alone, so he needs to work on his talent. (Harry Potter was the draw in those films, not Daniel Radcliff).

Is DRADC accepting too many mediocre movies or is that all he can get? I say get a new agent, Harry Potter! PVL Admin Feb 14, 12:34

I doubt he's hurting for money for the rest of his life, and he doesn't have movie star leading man looks. I think he's doing them for fun. {nm} BSmurf Feb 14, 12:42

Money isn't everything...doesn't a person (in this industry) want to remain relevant? Perhaps he's too young to realize it. {nm} PVL Admin Feb 14, 15:26

He will be known as Harry potter the rest of his life. Kids actor doesn't last as acting {nm} mike255 Feb 14, 15:27

Lots of child stars make it as adults. I guess it's still called "beating the odds", but still, it's happening more and more. PVL Admin Feb 14, 15:49

I know, right? {nm} JFOST Feb 16, 10:19

Preach it! {nm} JGORD Feb 16, 10:20

He's trying to build a rep as a serious actor. So stage work, and challenging work in "serious" films with lower box office, {nm} jjmarino Feb 14, 15:32

that's my take on it as well {nm} tealfan Feb 14, 16:28

College Republicans was #1 on the blacklist in 2010 {nm} Moviesnob Feb 14, 17:15

Yeah. I read the OP as equating mediocrity with box office. Some of these projects are excellent. {nm} jjmarino Feb 15, 12:14

You take a look Home alone kid, He did not make it as adult stars? {nm} mike255 Feb 16, 13:43

Christian Bale. Thanks for playing. {nm} jjmarino Feb 16, 19:12

Jonathan Brandis. The majority of child actors do not make it as adult stars. {nm} Antibody Feb 18, 11:30
