Daniel Jacob Radcliffe (born 23 July 1989)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Daniel Radcliffe )〕 is an English actor who rose to prominence as the title character in the ''Harry Potter'' film series. He made his acting debut at 10 years of age in BBC One's 1999 television film ''David Copperfield'', followed by his cinematic debut in 2001's ''The Tailor of Panama''. At age 11, he was cast as Harry Potter in the first ''Harry Potter'' film, and starred in the series for 10 years until the release of the eighth and final film in 2011. Radcliffe began to branch out to stage acting in 2007, starring in the London and New York productions of ''Equus'', and in the 2011 Broadway revival of the musical ''How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying''. He starred in the 2012 horror film ''The Woman in Black'', and played beat poet Allen Ginsberg in the 2013 independent film ''Kill Your Darlings''. He has contributed to many charities, including Demelza Hospice Care for Children, and The Trevor Project for suicide prevention among LGBTQ youth, which gave him its Hero Award in 2011. ==Early life== Radcliffe was born in West London, England. He is the only child of Alan George Radcliffe, a literary agent, and Marcia Jeannine Gresham (née Marcia Gresham Jacobson), a casting agent who was involved in several films for the BBC, including ''The Inspector Lynley Mysteries'' and ''Walk Away and I Stumble''. His father is from "a very working-class" Protestant background in Banbridge, County Down, Northern Ireland. His mother is Jewish, and was born in South Africa and raised in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex. Her family had originally come from Poland and Russia. Radcliffe's parents had both acted as children. In a 2012 interview, Radcliffe stated: "There was never faith in the house. I think of myself as being Jewish and Irish, despite the fact that I'm English."〔 He has stated that they were Christmas tree Jews,〔''Attitude'' Magazine, London. March 2012. ph. 60.

Radcliffe first expressed a desire to act at the age of five, and in December 1999, aged 10, he made his acting debut in BBC One's televised two-part adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel ''David Copperfield'', portraying the title character as a young boy. He was educated at two independent schools for boys:〔 Sussex House School, a day school in Chelsea's Cadogan Square, and the City of London School, a day school on the North Bank of the River Thames in London's financial district (known as the City of London). Attending school became difficult for Radcliffe after the release of the first ''Harry Potter'' film, with some fellow pupils becoming hostile, though he says it was people just trying to "have a crack at the kid that plays Harry Potter" rather than jealousy. As his acting career began to consume his schedule, Radcliffe continued his education through on-set tutors. He admitted he was not very good at school, considering it useless and finding the work "really difficult."〔 He achieved A grades in the three AS-level exams that he took in 2006, but decided to take a break from education and did not go to college or university. Part of his reasoning was that he already knew he wanted to act and write, and that it would be difficult to have a normal college experience. "The paparazzi, they'd love it," he told ''Details'' magazine in 2007. "If there were any parties going on, they'd be tipped off as to where they were."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daniel Radcliffe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
