In an interview with GQ, where Daniel Radcliffe breaks down the most iconic characters he has played on screen so far, the actor also opens up about cast and crew members that have influenced him on Harry Potter. Those of which include Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge), Michael Gambon (Dumbledore), David Thewlis (Professor Remus Lupin), and Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), whom Radcliffe described as actors who would just ‘chat everyone away’ to ‘have a nice day’ and then be able to ‘give an incredibly terrifying or intense performance.’ Watch his interview below:
However, among the ones he had mentioned, the most person to ever influence his acting was actually the director of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry Potter: The Chamber of Secrets, Chris Columbus. Radcliffe was happy to share how everybody was basically running towards him in the reunion set, seeing as they had not seen each other for how many years.
The actor continues to share how difficult it was to start in the film industry as a kid, and yet, Chris Columbus had been one of his early inspirations that led Radcliffe to love his job even more.
