Daniel Radcliffe recently popped into the  BAFTA headquarters and answered a few questions about acting. Here are some snippets as well as a video:

• “If I feel the script is trying to emotionally manipulate the reader in a way I’m not feeling, that’s something I find pretty off putting.”
• “I like that my job means I have to prepare something different each time. Every scene presents a different set of challenges.”
• “You have to trust the director, trust the other actors you are with, give yourself over and be as emotionally open and available as you can.”
• “The more challenging a scene is the more fun it is as well, because the more of my job I get to do.”
• “Learn as much as you can about the type of actor you’d like to be…If you’re working on a film, always remember how lucky you are.”
• “Most actors treat every job as if it’s going to be their last, because that’s the permanent fear we live in, but I think that’s a good attitude to have.”

Daniel Radcliffe can currently be seen on our screens in the new series of A Young Doctors Notebook in the UK (the first series is airing in the US on Ovation) and BAFTA have an exclusive Q&A podcast with the cast and crew, including the man himself, available on BAFTA Guru.

Thanks to BAFTA for letting us know!
