Another actor who found himself troubled by the notion of typecasting was Daniel Radcliffe, also known as Harry Potter. The Harry Potter series was so popular and so loved that the audience wasn't ready to imagine actor Daniel Radcliffe in any other role. It is well-known in the industry that typecasting leads to the downfall of talented actors. But Daniel Radcliffe was determined to prove this notion wrong and started taking up emotionally intense rules such as those of in the movie – Equus and musical - How to Succeed in Business without really trying. It was after Daniel Radcliffe established himself as a deep actor that he moved on to performing in comedy films like – Swiss Army Man and horror films like – The Woman in Black and Horns. His most notable role since Harry Potter came with the magician thriller movie – Now You See Me 2.
