“Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe will receive the 2,565th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, 13 days before the release of his latest film “Victor Frankenstein.”
Chris Columbus, who directed Radcliffe in the first two “Harry Potter” films, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” and “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” and Chris Hardwick, the host of the Comedy Central late-night series “@midnight with Chris Hardwick,” will join Radcliffe in speaking at the 11:30 a.m. ceremony in front of the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard.
Born July 23, 1989 in the Fulham area of London, Radcliffe made his acting debut when he was 10 years old in title role in the 1999 BBC One production of “David Copperfield.” Radcliffe’s first film was the 2001 spy thriller “The Tailor of Panama.”
Since completing the “Harry Potter” film series in 2010, Radcliffe has appeared on Broadway in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” and “The Cripple of Inishmaan”; on screen in “The Woman in Black,” the highest-grossing British horror film, and on British television in the four- part miniseries “A Young Doctor’s Notebook” and the made-for-television movie, “The Gamechangers.”
In “Victor Frankenstein,” Radcliffe portrays the assistant to the scientist obsessed with creating life (James McAvoy).
