LONDON — The time is coming — maybe sooner than you expect — when you look at Daniel Radcliffe and don’t think “Harry Potter.”



The 23-year-old actor has gone from boy wizard to Broadway hoofer to Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, whom he plays in new film “Kill Your Darlings.” He has several wildly different films lined up, and is soon to take to the London stage as star of Martin McDonagh’s barbed comedy “The Cripple of Inishmaan.”



The play gives audiences the chance to see Radcliffe in yet another new light, as Billy, a disabled orphan in 1930s Ireland who harbors an unlikely dream of Hollywood stardom.



“Cripple,” which opens in June for a 12-week run, is part of a West End season of plays overseen by director Michael Grandage.



“He walks that line between tragedy and comedy so brilliantly,” Radcliffe said of McDonagh. – AFP
