And this definitely is that for me.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWhenever I find something where a part of sits very, very naturally for me and it feels like my voice and the character&#8217;s voice are pretty close together, but there&#8217;s also one element to it that is completely alien and completely outside my comfort zone, that&#8217;s a real sweet spot for me.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;That&#8217;s when I get excited as an actor and know I&#8217;m up for a challenge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDaniel has previously had &#8220;little intrest&#8221; in a one-man show but was excited at the idea of interacting with the audience.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I have not done something like this before. And to be honest, I had very little interest in doing something that would just be me on my own telling lines in front of an audience. It&#8217;s the connection that this show makes you have with the audience is what made me want to do it.<\/p>\n<p>\n &#8220;Every night, we as a community in the theater together make this play together. And that feels really special and unique.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBefore every show, the Harry Potter actor &#8211; who has been replaced in the show by Mariska Hargitay following his last performance on 24 May &#8211; would spend 30 minutes speaking to the crowd and choosing audience members to help him during the show and he found it &#8220;freeing&#8221; to be so engaging, rather than trying to &#8220;lay low&#8221; as he usually would in a crowd.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I love the way it allows me to be in a room full of people without trying to hide myself, which is how I go through the world most of the time.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;There&#8217;s something just really freeing and fun about being able to run around and recruit people for the show.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;There&#8217;s something really liberating about just running around and being like, &#8216;Hey, I&#8217;m Dan. Nice to meet you.&#8217; It&#8217;s fun!<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I will never get to do something like this again. I&#8217;ll forever be grateful for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/daniel-radcliffe-wants-work-scares-1445297.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 June 2026 Daniel Radcliffe regularly seeks out work that &#8220;scares the s***&#8221; out of him.
