In a new interview with The Seattle Times, Daniel Radcliffe discusses his recently released film, Kill Your Darlings as well as some of his upcoming roles. Some snippets may be read below.

He came to Toronto with three varied films: the romantic comedy “The F Word,” the horror fantasy “Horns,” and the drama “Kill Your Darlings,” in which Radcliffe plays the young Allen Ginsberg. “I’m really proud that they’re all so different — they show such different sides of what I can do,” he said.

“We [director John Krokidas of Kill Your Darlings] worked on accent stuff, physicality, his backstory and his life in general. John also taught me things I’d never been taught before, like how to break down a script. I think everyone else just assumed that I knew how to do that! He gave me a way of working that I’ve never had before, so I’m very grateful.”Radcliffe arrived in Toronto fresh from a busy working summer, performing in the play “The Cripple of Inishmaan” by night and filming the second season of the TV miniseries “A Young Doctor’s Notebook” by day. The show, which aired in the U.S. last month on the Ovation channel, is set in 1917 in a hospital in Russia, with Radcliffe and Jon Hamm playing the same doctor at different ages. “There’s nothing else like it on television. It’s very gory, and very funny,” said Radcliffe, who acknowledges that the casting may raise a few eyebrows. “It’s not obvious, but when you see us next to each other it kind of works.”

Next up: playing Igor in Paul McGuigan’s “Frankenstein” opposite James McAvoy later this year (he’s “pleasantly nervous” about working with McAvoy, an actor Radcliffe has long admired). He’d love to do another musical someday — “a fantastically fun thing to do; it’s the only job I’m not doing anymore that I still miss” — and more stage work, and is in talks for several film projects that can’t yet be named. It’s a busy schedule for a young actor excited about the possibilities of his craft, far beyond Hogwarts.

“I want to prove to people that I’m an actor and not just a character,” he said. “I think I’m starting on my way to doing that.”
