More Dan's News

Equus cast member Spencer Liff has an interview with BroadwayWorld.com, in which he talked about Dan on the first day or rehearsals:

“The first day or two [of rehearsals], it was very strange, just ’cause you’ve watched this kid grow up. But he was instantly charming right from the get-go, knew everyone’s name by the end of the first day, ate lunch with us in the greenroom. So now he’s not Harry Potter anymore. And certainly when you see him do the material in the show, your perspective changes.”

On another interview with Talkin' Brodway, Equus actress Carolyn McCormick also has something nice to say about our Dan:

It's been great. Daniel Radcliffe has an enormous fan base. The thing I notice the most is how young much of the audience is because of that, and how nice that is. We need to get younger people into the audiences so those people realize that the theaters are worth keeping alive. A lot of the theaters I've worked in have an old subscription base. I look up there and I think "Who's going to replace you guys in 20 or 30 years?" If this show ignites 10 new future theater goers every night, that would be great. I think that's the best thing, and that's Dan bringing those people in. But they come in to see a movie star and they leave having seen an actor.

Broadway Beat, has two very nice interview videos of Peter Shaffer, Anna Camp, Kate Mulgrew, Carolyn McCormick, T. Ryder Smith, Thea Sharrock and of course Dan, you'll also see longer takes of the play been filmed, plus a fabulous praise from none other than the man that created this play Peter Shaffer, to the point of telling us that he's now a Daniel's fan like one of us...so enjoy it!!

And lastly but not least New Magazine has a cute an interesting article of Dan going to the polls yesterday:

The actor, 19, is currently starring in Broadway stage show Equus - and although he wasn't eligible to vote, he made sure he could soak up the atmosphere by tagging along with one of his American co-stars.

Millions of U.S. citizens, including celebrities like Tim Robbins, LL Cool J, Lindsay Lohan and Pharrell Williams, queued for hours to log their votes at the ballot box - with Democrat Barack Obama eventually being announced as the new president.

And Radcliffe was delighted to have witnessed the monumental scenes at the polls near New York University.

He tells the New York Post, "Barack Obama's treated like the Messiah in England.

"We don't have particularly inspirational politicians, certainly no one who can draw crowds in the thousands."
