Where Else You Recognize EVERY BRILLIANT THING’S Daniel Radcliffe From

by Luke Maynus. @luke.maynus.

The theatre world is buzzing with excitement for the Broadway debut of Duncan Macmillan's play Every Brilliant Thing, directed by Jeremy Herrin. This touching and introspective one-man show has been a fan favorite for many years, but one aspect of the show has completely confounded professional critics and general audiences alike: who is this production's seemingly unknown leading man, Daniel Radcliffe, and why does he look so familiar? 

The Broadway Beat has got you covered. We’ve detailed five of Radcliffe’s most noteworthy public appearances that you might recognize him from!

1. He’s the long term partner of professional actress, Erin Darke.
   

Since 2012, Daniel Radcliffe has been the arm candy of professional actress, Erin Darke! Darke is known for her work as Mary on the Amazon Prime Video series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and as of April 2023, the couple has welcomed their first child!

2. He performed Blackalicious’s “Alphabet Aerobics” on Jimmy Fallon.
   

Who doesn’t love the late night comedy institution The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon? We’re sure you’ve seen the now viral clip of Radcliffe expertly reciting the words to one of the most lyrically intricate rap songs of all time! It’s a hoot and a half! 

3. He came to you in a vision. 
   

December 8th, 2007. You woke up in a cold sweat, eyes sinking back into your head as you floated four feet into the air. Through your third eye, you saw the formerly animated remains of your mortal vestige left forsaken as your spirit entered a new plane of existence. One in which the extension of your consciousness collided with the rhythm of all that is known. Here you saw him, Daniel Radcliffe, who informed you of the exact time and location of your death. You awoke, disappointed to find yourself faced with the same mortal follies from whence you thought you had successfully absconded. 

4. He’s inside your walls. 
   

Ever hear scuttering in your vents? A strange shuffling in your gutter? Fear not, it isn’t any type of rodent infestation, it’s just your friendly neighborhood Daniel Radcliffe looking for a place to crash for the night! Feed him. He wants to be fed. 

5. He’s also appeared in some movies!
   

Much like his partner, Radcliffe has also dipped his toe into acting. He’s appeared in a variety of films such as: Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, Now You See Me 2, the Merrily We Roll Along pro-shot, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Swiss Army Man among others!
