It was as the boy wizard Harry Potter that Daniel Radcliffe won the hearts of fans and achieved star status on the big screen.

But Radcliffe's career on the stage has proved increasingly successful - from his debut in Equus in the West End to shows on Broadway.

Great to see ROB again from HTS #robbartlett 

The new UK Empire magazine, 300th issue – the director’s cut, out now, features an "On Location" article on the set of Frankenstein with James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe in Longcross, Surrey. Below the photo of Daniel in make-up.

''A lot of the movie is our characters making each other laugh, and in those moments, I'd focus on saying whatever I thought would crack Zoe up most,'' says Radcliffe. ''Wallace's sense of humor is closer to my own than any character I've played.'' [via EW.com]

Josh Horowitz stopped by last night. #mtv

Happy/Sad/Confused. With Daniel Radcliffe

Look who saw the show last night. Seth Meyers! #danonbway  

What’s here: “I have a pillow my mom’s friend had made which has GOOD LUCK DAN in Gaelic and the island of Inishmaan on it. Plus Ricola, Listerine, and foam massage rollers. On How to Succeed, I learned when you’re doing a show eight times a week you’ve got to take care of your body.”

"Many thanks to the amazing Stephanie McClelland for this brilliant drawing by Matt Logan!" - Dan

He's nonetheless slated to shoot another movie after Inishmaan completes its run: Tokyo Vice, adapted from Jake Adelstein's 2009 memoir. "I play an American journalist who becomes very involved, shall we say, with the Yakuza — the Japanese mafia. On one hand, it's a very smart and interesting look at Americans in other countries, but it's also a great, real-life thriller."

This week Fallin captures Martin McDonagh's The Cripple of Inishmaan, which is currently in previews at the Cort Theatre. Pictured below is star Daniel Radcliffe.

But in this fascinating anthology, one hundred men - distinguished in literature and film, science and architecture, theatre and human rights - confess to being moved to tears by poems that haunt them. Representing twenty nationalities and ranging in age from their early 20s to their late 80s, the majority are public figures not prone to crying. Here they admit to breaking down when ambushed by great art, often in words as powerful as the poems themselves.

Seventy-five percent of the selected poems were written in the twentieth century, with more than a dozen by women. Their themes range from love in its many guises, through mortality and loss, to the beauty and variety of nature. Three men have suffered the pain of losing a child; others are moved to tears by the exquisite way a poet captures, in Alexander Pope's famous phrase, 'what oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd'.

From J.J Abrams to John le Carré, Salman Rushdie to Jonathan Franzen, Daniel Radcliffe to Nick Cave, Ian McEwan to Stephen Fry, Stanley Tucci to Colin Firth, and Seamus Heaney to Christopher Hitchens, this collection delivers private insight into the souls of men whose writing, acting, and thinking are admired around the world.
