Early Life
Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born in London on July 23rd, 1989. He is the only child of Marcia Jeannine Gresham and literary agent Alan George Radcliffe. Confusingly, one of the schools he went to was Redcliffe School.
He showed an early interest in acting from the age of five, and his first TV role came five years later in BBC One’s 1999 adaptation of Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield. His big screen debut came two years later in the 2001 adaptation of John le Carré’s spy novel, The Tailor of Panama.
