He keeps trying


Gotta give it to him. I see him turn up in movie after movie after movie, and none of them seem to score (after Potter).

Keep trying, son. You're bound to star in a great movie any day now.

He should be the next James Bond !

reply

I agree he should!!

reply

I don't think he's ever going to be a big star again, Hollywood doesn't consider him to be a leading man type as he's short and geeky.

But if he wants to be a working actor, more power to him!

reply

He doesn't need to be a leading man, but he should start picking some winning material.

reply

Who says he's being offered "winning material"?

Well, he has enough money to do whatever he wants with his life, and if he wants to be a B-list actor, then that's what he wants to do. Frankly, being a character actor is probably a lot more fun than being a star, there's a lot less pressure and media bullshit to deal with.

reply

Exactly!

reply

A character actor is exactly what he is, but he hasn't had a really memorable role yet, in any film of note.

He might not be offered great material (nobody knows), but his luck needs to change. Like it did for Robert Pattinson.

reply

hes not trying o be. hes picking neat projects he likes.

he didnt choose Swiss army man or weird al thinking "this is my big return to be a huge star again!"

hes choosing niche ones I respect him for

downloaded it never seen it

The Woman in Black did really well.

reply

Daniel was very good in ' My Boy Jack ' a made for TV movie from 2007.

reply

Good pick. Looking at the stats it did all right. Didn't set the world on fire.

reply

He should try something like Adam Sandler did with Uncut Gems - it was non-stop and different.

reply

Have you seen Horns? He replaced Shia LaBeouf.

reply

No, and that's the problem.

Maybe playing Weird Al will be a game changer for the lad. I'm curious to see.

reply

Radcliffe is a dick but I have to give him credit - he was very good playing an Israeli guy in the survival movie ‘Jungle’.
