The boy who lived – Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe has someone very important to thank for continuing with his acting career.
As it turns out, one of his co-stars would often communicate with him on set and motivate him to amp up his skill. Radcliffe, on many occasions, has spoken highly of him.
According to Radcliffe, he was able to learn some of the most crucial life and acting lessons from the revered co-star who would often scream at him while filming.
Reports have resurfaced recently that say Radcliffe almost quit acting as he didn’t think he had enough in him to give to the industry.
