Daniel Radcliffe to Play Igor in Max Landis Scripted ‘Frankenstein’ Even before the conclusion of the Harry Potter franchise, Daniel Radcliffe was making a valiant effort to prove himself as an actor. He performed on Broadway, in independent dramas, psychological thrillers, and now he’s likely to play his most different role yet. Radcliffe is in talks to play Igor, the lead character of Max Landis‘ unique take on Frankenstein. Paul McGuigan (Lucky Number Slevin) is set to direct.
Back in 2011, Landis spoke at length about his Frankenstein script, revealing that Igor is the main character instead of Dr. Frankenstein or the Monster, it’s a period piece and there’s one scene at a circus. Plus it takes all of the misconceptions that have developed around the Frankenstein myth and works them all together into one coherent story. [It]’ll shoot in the fall after Radcliffe finishes his latest stage production, Cripple of Inishmaan. SOURCE

Daniel Radcliffe chats to the WSJ about his upcoming play 'The Cripple of Inishmaan'
News - Newsflash Friday, 03 May 2013 02:20 Daniel Radcliffe recently spoke to the Wall Street Journal about his involvement in 'The Cripple of Inishmaan' and playing Billy, a disabled Irish boy. Highlights of that interview can be read here.
How did you get involved in "The Cripple of Inishmaan"?
I met Michael Grandage for the first time when I was 14, when my agent was first starting to get me to meet a few people. I met him and talked about theater and the fact that I wanted to do it. Then years go by, I worked with Rob Ashford on "How to Succeed," and of course Rob is a child of the Donmar theatre in London as well. He was brought up through there, has directed loads there, and worked with Michael a lot. I guess Michael got good reports from Rob, and then Michael came and started talking to me and saying, "I'm putting together this season." He said that he wanted me to be in the third play of the season, and then he gave me five plays to read and we talked about them. To be honest, as soon as I read "Cripple," already being a big Martin McDonagh fan as I was, I was like "it's going to be hard to beat this one."
You will play "Billy" as a young man with cerebral palsy. How did you prepare?
I've got to learn a potentially tricky accent, and, obviously, the physicality of the role. I'm having classes at home with a lady called Janis Price, who's a vocal coach but she also has a very, very, very mild cerebral palsy. It's very slight so we're working on basically timesing what she has to the power of 10. In the play it's never specific, they don't ever mention what is wrong with him. They just say, one bad arm, one bad leg, and he's shuffling. So then it was a matter of really going through the play and extracting what information we could. After we identified it as cerebral palsy, that's when we got in contact with Janis. She told me about the condition, the mechanics of it, what it is and what you can and cannot do with your leg or with your arm. It's really been a matter of working out how brilliant you become with your right side. Learning about the disability has been really interesting, and my mission for it is that I hope that people who have the specific type of cerebral palsy that I have—because there's a term, it's hemiplegia—I hope they come and see the show and go, that's authentic.
(Dan is busy, isnt he ?

Dan Radcliffe chatting on BBC in Breakfast show
* Daniel Radcliffe guest voicing as character Diggs for "The Simpsons" 25th season Entertainment Weekly announced that Daniel Radcliffe will be voicing a character named Diggs who befriends Bart on the upcoming season of 'The Simpsons'.
In an episode airing this coming season, Bart will encounter Diggs (Radcliffe), a strange older boy with a passion for falconry, among other things. “Diggs is a combination of Holden Caulfield, Finny from A Separate Peace and the kids in Lord of the Flies — only a little more screwed up,” executive producer Al Jean tells EW.
Radcliffe’s voice first graced the show in 2010’s “Treehouse of Horror XXI”, in which he played the vampire son of Dracula. Why did the producers bring him back? “I had the pleasure of meeting him after one of his performances in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and he is one of the people who actually listens to Simpsons DVD commentaries,” quips Jean. “Also, he was terrific.”
