Daniel Radcliffe has been a very busy fellow since wrapping up his stint as Harry Potter in the long-running franchise. In the wake of Harry Potter, the British actor has dipped his toes into every genre, from horror to rom-com to action. While Radcliffe always delivers solid performances, the end result is not always a Certified Fresh feature.
In total, Radcliffe's name is attached to over a dozen movies since 2012. There's also his television work, which includes playing Prince Frederick in the recent Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt special and contributing to the anthology comedy series, Miracle Workers. Radcliffe has come a long way from his days as a teenaged wizard.
